Stapleford Park Hotel: Luxury hotel near Nottingham goes into liquidation as 92 staff made redundant

A luxury hotel and wedding venue on the Nottinghamshire-Leicestershire border has closed, with nearly 100 staff being made redundant. 

Stapleford Park Hotel, near Melton Mowbray, closed on October 16 having been unable to generate the turnover required to continue trading. 

Alex Cadwallader and Neil Bennett of restructuring firm Leonard Curtis were appointed as joint liquidators of Stapleford Park Limited on October 28. 

A Grade I listed building, the hotel was a popular country setting for weddings and also offered spa and wellness services. 

Leonard Curtis say that Stapleford Park Limited did not own the property and the future of the hotel remains uncertain at this stage.

Commenting on the process, Alex Cadwallader said: “Our priority was to ensure the most orderly wind-down of trading possible. 

“Significant efforts were made to communicate with and re-locate of the guests that were staying at the hotel, which was at approximately 50% occupancy.

“Leonard Curtis attended the site and worked closely with front of house staff to make this possible, and the wider group also met some essential costs to limit the impact on guests and future bookings. 

“However we fully appreciate that some guests will have been adversely impacted.”
