The growth of Telford continues with the near completion of the £1.5m investment by the Hadley Park House Hotel.

The new extension is due to be completed late April and will include a new conference suite, and 10 extra bedrooms, including two assisted access rooms. The Georgian grandeur of the original 18th century stately home has been retained through the sympathetic works. Proprietor Mark Lewis, comments "The process to get to this point has been a long drawn out one, but the outcome so far has been well worth it. We are delighted with the way the new works blend with the original, and the function room and conference suite already feels 'right' - with views of our gardens, and ancient oaks beyond'. The purpose-built conference suite will accommodate up to 150 but also have the flexibility to be separated for smaller events. Additional car parking and associated landscaping will also be undertaken. 

Mark added "It was a bit of a risk to undertake such a project last year, when the economy was in such a state, but we pushed on, and secured the £1.5m funding, and we now see the region lifting out of recession, and we are positioned to be the most up to date hotel and conference facility in the region. We will also be able to offer 22 well appointed bedrooms, and our fine dining restaurant will not be effected" 

This new build will create approximately 6 jobs and the construction is being carried out by local firm McPhillips. "It was important that we created and secured local jobs for local people" added Mark Lewis. "As well as using a Telford based construction company, we are employing as many local firms as possible to complete things such as plumbing and electrics."
