Urban Splash who have just spent many millions of pounds lovingly renovating the Midland Hotel on the Promenade at Morecambe.
The Midland which has lain derelict for over a decade is now up and running again and has been heralded as being a catalyst for the regeneration of Morecambe and hopefully will now help to attract other big developments into the town.
The Midland Hotel is an art deco architectural masterpiece and is a great landmark which can be seen for miles standing proud on Morecambe’s seafront. Urban Splash has really gone to town and no expense had been spared on restoring artwork by Eric Gill, Eric Ravilious and Marion Dorn.
It is a shame that Urban Splash, who not have only renovated the hotel but also still own it, do not invest the same amount of attention on its employees. My son has worked there since June and is still waiting on receiving his first wage slip.
Despite large volume of calls to the hotel management and the accountant at Urban Splash the promised “cheque in the post” has still not arrived.
I will post more on here to let everyone know how this develops. My obvious concern is that my son may lose his job over this but I really don’t know what else to do.

Well, I hope things turn out ok chuck. Maybe teething problems but even so, a long time to wait for a wage.
Good luck.
