Simon Champion, chief executive officer said: “The group has made good progress during the year with strong performance from our owned hotels and across our franchised hotels.

“Current trading is healthy and we remain confident on the outlook for 2015, particularly given our recent refurbishment investment at Old Street and other initiatives that are underway.”

“easyHotel is a strong brand with international recognition. Our expansion plans are taking shape and we are confident that we can secure owned properties for conversion in key European gateway cities, as well as expand the franchised estate. Our focus remains on delivering a high return on capital for shareholders, as well as providing excellent value for our customers”.
