CLYDEBANK'S Golden Jubilee Conference Hotel reopens to the public on Thursday.

The Dalmuir facility re-opened for NHS and healthcare staff on May 24 and will be available for the wider public to use from 12 noon on July 1.

It comes after many of the hotel's staff were redeployed to other parts of the Golden Jubilee complex, and elsewhere within the NHS, to help during the Covid pandemic.

General manager Denis Flanagan said: “We are excited to welcome everyone back.

"This past year has been challenging for us all, but staff have continued to go above and beyond to do what they can to help health services in Scotland.

“Our team has shown their resilience and willingness to make a difference, with many being redeployed to NHS Louisa Jordan and throughout the hospital in various roles, helping our clinical teams to continue delivering first class care to patients from all across Scotland.”

The hotel's conference rooms have been upgraded with new technology during the closure period so that all Covid protection measures can be met.

The venue was named Large Conference Hotel of the Year for the west of Scotland at the Scottish Hotel Awards in 2018 and 2019.

Denis added: “We have transformed quite considerably this last year. We’ve invested in technology within our conference rooms to ensure that we are safe to meet.

“The team has been working extremely hard to do everything they can to support NHS staff in whatever way possible and having the hotel services back open to staff is warmly welcomed by all, providing some much anticipated social normality for everyone.”
