Description

PGL have created 106 jobs and plan to create a further 180 at a new children's outdoor adventure centre in Wiltshire. The school trip provider bought the former Liddington Hotel for £9m when they went into administration last year. Approximately £1.5m was spent redesigning the building, which opened this April, and installing features including a tree-top canopy. A further £3m investment is planned over the next 2 years, and 60,000 visitors are expected in that time. No timeline was given regarding when recruitment will be completed.
