New Forest Brilliance in Business Award

We were extremely delighted to have received a New Forest Brilliance in Business award this month. We were selected for our commitment to excellent staff training, career development and mentoring support, all of which have enhanced our performance and the experience that all our guests receive.

The New Forest Brilliance in Business awards scheme is an annual event that celebrates the achievements of local businesses, highlighting good business practice. Seven specialist categories, of which the Training and Development award is one, recognise companies demonstrating high levels of achievement within their core business and in specialist areas including investment in the workforce, enterprise and innovation, entrepreneurship, development of technologies and green policies. 

David Goldsmith, Group Sales Manager and Simon Bransgrove, Marketing Manager attended the award ceremony and networking evening on our behalf. Simon said ‘we are extremely honoured to accept this award on behalf of all the team, across all our parks. It is fantastic to receive recognition for everyone’s efforts. We are really proud that so many of our guests, be they holiday makers, leisure club members or guests attending private functions, return year after year and it is our staff that feature in all the positive feedback we receive.’
