It was described as 'cruel'
A former Nottingham Castle worker has been angered by its 'cruel' closure which left people jobless before Christmas. The Nottingham Castle Trust on Monday, November 21 confirmed it had started appointing liquidators, just a year since its three-year £33 million renovation was completed in June 2021.
"We were told to go and then we were on the street, I had to get my handbag but it felt like they wanted to get rid of us as quick as possible. We were thrown into the bin." "My question is what went wrong? We were all working non-stop to make the Castle a success, but then it was all finished and gone. Everybody worked so hard."By losing their jobs at Christmas staff will probably have to wait months for a new job, in a very difficult time in this country. We have a cost of living crisis and you have to pay the high heating and electrifies bills - but the people high up won't care as it doesn't effect them.
“Tim Bateson and Chris Pole of Interpath Advisory have been nominated by the board to be appointed as liquidators to formally wind up the affairs of the Trust. Their appointment will take place during the course of the next ten days.
