South West Regional Minister, Ben Bradshaw, today visited the site of the soon-to-be launched Jurys Inn Hotel, located on Western Way, Exeter. The post-budget visit was organised to highlight that despite challenging economic conditions, Government policies are continuing to help companies invest in the South West. Leading hotel group, Jurys Inns, is launching its latest hotel in Exeter, which will open on 5th June 2009. The 170-bedroom, six-storey hotel in Exter city centre will create at least 50 local jobs through the new opening. Jurys Inns’ strategic development partner, McAleer and Rushe, have invested £15 million in the Exeter launch.
The Exeter hotel is part of an impressive roll-out for the Jurys Inns group, which is launching seven new hotels in 2009 and a further three in 2010. The Jurys Inns new launch programme highlights the consumer demand for premium budget accommodation, offering a great service and warm welcome.
Graham Hole, General Manager for Jurys Inns hotel in Exeter, took Ben Bradshaw on a tour of the site and updated him on plans for the new hotel, as he and his team have been working tirelessly to make the launch as successful as possible.

“It was a pleasure to show Mr Bradshaw around the site. I explained that we’re working with the local community and the local workforce, to ensure the hotel in Exeter is a valuable asset to the area.
