Travelodge sexual assault victim shocked' boss cancelled meeting with MPs
"I think if you are the CEO of a company, then you have a responsibility to answer these questions and engage in that situation, and say how you're going to now improve. You're not protecting people and I mean, I personally find it quite shocking."
"If you're really that worried about safeguarding and protecting people and like making sure your guests are safe, then why are you not attending, you know, these kind of meetings with MPs?"
"I'm really sorry if she did feel dismissed, and we are definitely listening to what she has to say. The hotels with key cards have deadbolts, but clearly something went wrong here, and that needs to be investigated."
A woman sexually assaulted at a Travelodge expressed shock over the CEO's cancellation of a meeting with MPs. The assault occurred after the attacker received a key card to her room. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer wrote to the CEO, Jo Boydell, expressing concern. The survivor emphasized the CEO's responsibility to address safety issues. Boydell apologized and stated that changes to the door key policy were made. The survivor criticized Boydell's comments about deadbolts as deflection, asserting she had locked her door during the attack.
