📈💥🎯 We're off to a strong start early in the year. Here's some of the highlights 👀: 1. Record level of revenue in Q1 2023. 2. We expect bookings and revenue to grow by 30% over 2022. 3. We expect adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of €16.5m to €17m for the full year. 4. We have fully refinanced our legacy €30m term loan facility 5. We have agreed a new 3-year €20m facility with AIB, comprised of a €10m term loan, a €7.5m RCF and an undrawn €2.5m overdraft. "This new facility, with materially lower interest costs, significantly strengthens our balance sheet, represents a strong endorsement of our post-pandemic performance, and consolidates the firm foundations upon which we will drive profitable growth and create shareholder value.". -Michael Cawley, Chairman of Hostelworld Full RNS here: https://lnkd.in/dVGQYeTd Full article here: https://lnkd.in/deEjKaky

HUGE thanks to Jessie Barr and Thomas Barr for this incredible session. So many valuable lessons which we can apply to every aspect of our lives. Two amazing humans - grounded, humble and just really bloody sound 😉
From the Track to the Office: Lessons in Resilience and Mental Health 🧠 On World Mental Health Day, we recognise that resilience isn’t just about bouncing back—it’s about prioritising our mental well-being in the face of our challenges. We were very lucky to be joined by Olympians Thomas Barr and Jessie Barr for a masterclass in resilience hosted by our own David Brady, offering their experience and expertise to open up conversations about resilience and well-being. Seasoned in dealing with immense pressure on the world’s biggest stage, Thomas and Jessie generously shared their experiences of elite sports competition and combined their stories of resilience with Jessie’s sports psychology expertise to help us understand more about resilience, how to recognise when we need support and what we can do to better support those around us. A really insightful session, some of the key takeaways from the day were: ⚽ Adaptability: Change is constant. Developing mental agility helps us manage stress and maintain balance when the unexpected happens. 🏋️ Mental Toughness ≠ Ignoring Stress: Mental strength is not just about pushing through but knowing when to rest and recharge. At work, resilience means recognising when we need a break or support. 🏀 Teamwork & Support: Just like we rely on teammates and coaches on the track or field, it’s essential to build supportive networks at home and work that promote open conversations about mental health. 🚴 Consistency with Compassion: Showing up for your goals is important, but so is being kind to yourself on tough days. Consistent training, reflection and self-care is key to long-term mental health. Look for an opportunity to learn and move on to the next goal. 📖 Jessie shared a great tip to encourage us to keep a training journal to help us reflect with gratitude on our wins and learn from our losses. As we acknowledge World Mental Health Day, let’s remember: resilience and mental well-being go hand in hand. Take time to reflect, recharge, and support yourself and those around you. From all of us at Hostelworld Group, huge thanks to Jessie Barr and Thomas Barr for giving their time so generously to share their knowledge, inspiring stories and experiences. We've has some fantastic feedback on this session and we're really grateful for all of your insights and practical tips. #WorldMentalHealthDay #Resilience #MentalHealthMatters #WorkplaceWellbeing #CorporateSkills #Teamwork #CorporateSkills
