POLICE have issued a photograph of the Malvern hotel manager who has been missing for a week in a fresh appeal for information as to his whereabouts.

Twenty-two-year-old Tim Hunter - also known as David - works as under-manager at the Abbey Hotel in Abbey Road, Malvern, and was last seen by his girlfriend on Thursday.

He has not been to work since and, although he is a regular visitor to the Wyche Inn, he has not been seen there either for several days.

South Worcestershire police spokesman Richard Bull said they had not received any reports of sightings of Mr Hunter.

"As each day goes by the concern is increasing because we've heard nothing from him. We would ask people to come forward even if they mildly think they've sighted him."

He is described as white, 5ft 9ins, of slim build with short, straight blonde/red hair, clean-shaven with blue eyes and a pale complexion.

His girlfriend said he was last seen wearing a baseball cap, possibly with jeans, a T-shirt, trainers and a denim jacket.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 08457 444 888, quoting 508S/110104.
