>>>By a complete coincidence I happened to work on and off for the owners of the Grand Ash, the Grand u k group who own around a dozen hotels around the U K. I worked as a tour manager on one of the coaches they hired in to transport their clients.
I must say that I found them a good company to work for although a long way away from N Wales. They are based in Norwich. The only reason I didn't get more work off them was because of my age, although, of course, they never said so.
I don't suppose for a moment the local manager would imagine that an ex employee would read this thread. However on my experience a phone call or two should resolve the issue. On my experience I would say there is no chance whatsoever that this business will turn into another Clarence. Mike
