Thistle takes the DIY approach

flatpack.jpg
Exciting news reaches us from Thistle Hotels, which is really pushing the boat out to treat its employees.

The chain has invested in new facilities for its employee rest areas, accommodation and workspaces, giving workers “the opportunity to relax in style”.

Head of HR Christian Armstrong said: “The upgraded facilities will make it a home from home for employees. High quality furniture will be distributed to each of the hotels and employees will be able to choose their own accessories and soft furnishings.”

So, who is providing Thistle Hotels with this “high quality” furniture? None other than the Swedish flatpack kings themselves, IKEA.

So, next time you’re in a Thistle Hotel, don’t be offended when you hear the staff shouting and swearing – it will just be angst over indecipherable instructions.
