Drake Hotels PLC owns 20 budget hotels in the UK. Each one is located in a different
city. The industry is very competitive and Drake’s managers all have an objective to
help the business to be as efficient as possible.
Drake Hotels PLC’s operating profit for the financial year 2019–20 was £18 million.
Last month the company appointed a new Chief Executive, Mary Myers, to increase
the profitability of the business. Mary was previously the Marketing Manager of an
upmarket hotel chain.
Mary is already considering an investment proposal for a luxury hotel in Oxford. This
hotel would target overseas visitors who might want to visit the city. Drake Hotels has
found a suitable building but needs to invest to develop it.
