Ian Wilkinson, HR manager at the cruise firm, said there had been "all sorts of issues finding staff"."We've not been able to recruit people to all the roles we'd want to, which has to some extent impacted our services. "We've got issues related to Brexit, and a lot of hospitality roles in Cumbria are live-in jobs but we can't provide accommodation so the people who used to come to us are now working elsewhere leaving a smaller pool for us."
Mr Wilkinson said the firm welcomed a trend of employing more older people looking for to work two or three days per week "but the knock-on effect is we need more people".England's largest lake, Windermere sees thousands of tourists flock during the summer months with many travelling across the water on "steamer" vessels.
