Carlauren’s Heritage Hotels staff not paid last month due to ‘cash flow problems’

Dozens of staff working at properties belonging to Heritage Hotels, a subsidiary of the Carlauren Group, were not paid in full last month due to “cash flow problems”.

However Carlauren chief executive Sean Murray has said all money owed will be paid by the end of the month.

A letter sent to employees, seen by The Caterer, dated 31 October 2019 from chief operating officer Andrew Jamieson, who is no longer employed by the business, said the group was not able to pay October salaries or weekly wages that day with a ‘provisional’ payment date given of 5 November. However, many staff are understood to have still not been paid in full and approximately 40 of the company’s 180 staff have either resigned or been made redundant.
