The chief executive of Crieff Hydro has described the “incredibly tough” process of making redundancies.
The Crieff Hydro hotel group has lost hundreds of staff and taken on a multi-million- pound debt as Covid-19 decimated its revenues.

More than 400 workers leave the business
A year ago the group – which has seven hotels Murraypark in Crieff – employed 1,050 staff.
The impact of the pandemic means just over 600 workers remain on the payroll.
Crieff Hydro began redundancy talks with 241 staff in June and at the time Mr Leckie estimated 80 staff would have to go.
“In the end we had to make very few redundancies,” he said.
