Jonathan Stapleton General Manager at Lough Erne Resort has said:
"Effectively Castle Hume Leisure Limited who owns Lough Erne Resort that has gone into administration, not Lough Erne Resort itself."
Lough Erne Resort has been trading prosperously for the last year and will continue to do so, therefore it is business as usual for The Resort, it's dedicated staff and valued guests, which means that our customers can be assured of our continued commitment to delivering the very highest standards of service and attention to detail at all times, for which Lough Erne Resort has become renowned both domestically and internationally."
"I just want to assure everyone that it is business as usual at Lough Erne Resort and that we are all committed more than ever to delivering excellence for which we are renowned."
On Thursday John Hansen and Stuart Irwin of KPMG, where appointed joint administrators of Castle Hume Leisure Limited.
He said: "It is our intention to continue trading and keep this outstanding resort open for 'business as usual' including weddings and all other bookings. The joint administrators will seek to find a new owner. However, in the meantime it is our intention to keep the business open and indeed drive the business forward at every opportunity."
"On the issue of jobs at the resort, he said: "It is early in the Administration process, but our intention at present is to keep the workforce intact. We will keep all matters under review in the coming days and weeks."
The administrators have appointed an experienced hotel operator to assist them in the ongoing management of the resort. Mr Hansen said this could enable it to continue trading, meet current bookings and reservations and to secure future bookings.
"Given the great location and our stated intentions we hope that people will continue to book and our immediate objective is to secure operations, honour bookings and work with the existing staff. We will look at selling the resort in due course," he concluded.
