‘We offer our congratulations to all of the winners’, said Mike Bedingfield, Chief Executive of Tourism South East.  ‘ Our industry’s commitment to providing the best possible customer service and exceeding customer expectations is outstanding.  The Award Winners have shown that they are truly the best-in-class and we look forward to seeing them on the national stage at the Enjoy England Awards for Excellence next April’.

Park Director Lorraine Adams said ‘ We are so thrilled to have been shortlisted for a second year in a row and to win Gold is fantastic.  This could not have been achieved without a strong cohesive team who have worked extremely hard in maintaining high standards across all sectors of the business. The Park is going from strength to strength and what a positive lead in to our 40^th anniversary year in 2011 - this is the icing on the cake of a fantastic business year!’.
