A brief history of Away Resorts If you cut chief executive Carl Castledine in half, he would have the words holiday park running through him like a stick of Great British rock. Carl is the third generation in his family to run a holiday park. His grandfather ran Britain’s first holiday camp, which opened at Caister in Norfolk in 1905, when Billy Butlin was still at primary school, and Carl went on to work for some of the biggest businesses in the UK market. But it was in 2008, when Carl teamed up with two other holiday park experts, Neill Ryder and Greg Lashley – who cut their teeth in places such as Park Resorts, Haven and Bourne Leisure – that his chance came to continue the family tradition. The three friends shared a dream for the holiday park of the future and a desire to shake up the industry. So Away Resorts was born, with Carl as CEO, Neill as Finance Director and Greg as Operations Director. Fast forward eight years, throw in an awful lot of hard work, laughs, passion and a bunch of amazing staff, and you have a growing family of parks, all with their own unique personality, all buzzing with guests all year round, and a business at the cutting edge of the sector.

Welcome to Away Resorts
‘We didn’t really know what we were letting ourselves in for when we bought our first park, Whitecliff Bay Holiday Park, on the Isle of Wight,’ says Carl now. ‘We had tons of experience between us, but no one can prepare you for running your own holiday park business, lock, stock and barrel. Plus we didn’t want it to be like any other park that had ever gone before. We wanted to take the best bits of the great British holiday park, throw out the worst aspects, then add in some amazing contemporary touches, and create the holiday park for the next generation.’ And that’s exactly what they’ve done. Outdoor cinemas under the stars, festival style entertainment, glamping villages, record-breaking cream-pie fights, West End stars, wakeboarding, spas, hot-tubs and Wi-Fi sit alongside old-style fish’n’chips, camping, caravans and night-time talent shows. Holiday-park goers are able to enjoy the retro things they love along with the new stuff they adore, making holiday parks relevant and fun again. Whitecliff Bay went so well that a year later the business bought Tattershall Lakes Country Park in Lincolnshire, followed by Mill Rythe Holiday Village on Hayling Island the year after that. Then came Barmouth Bay Holiday Park in North Wales, Mersea Island Holiday Park in Essex in 2015 and finally Sandy Balls in Hampshire in 2017.
An exciting time to join Away Resorts! In the past eight years, Away Resorts has won industry awards and accolades, been rated in the top 100 fastest growing businesses in the UK, and attracted a new wave of holiday park devotees. But what of the future? ‘We still have loads of ideas and we’re still growing as a business,’ says Carl.
for eight years ago: to celebrate the best the UK has to offer, and convince the great British public that you can have a great holiday without having to fork out for a flight.’ Away Resorts continues to grow; With new parks joining the brand over the next few years, there will be many developing roles for you and the rest of our team to grow into in a career with us that we hope all of you will prosper from and enjoy!
‘We want a footprint that spans the UK, with enough parks to take on the big players. We want an Away Resorts park to be a couple of hours away from everyone, wherever you live in the UK. ‘But we don’t just want to be big. We want to be the best too. We’re still shaking up the industry. We have so many ideas, and more than a few surprises coming down the track in the next year or two. There is so much we can still do to make our guests’ holidays even better.’ Carl sums up the Away Resorts vision: ‘Ultimately we want to continue to do what we set the company up

Holiday
Heroes
You are now a valued member of our team. And everyone on the team can make every guest’s stay with us brilliant in some way. You can now make a big difference to the fun and enjoyment every guest experiences at Away Resorts, not only by doing your job well but by becoming a true Holiday Hero, just like the rest of us. We are Holiday Heroes because we all seek out every opportunity to chat with and understand how we can make the stay of every one of our guests even better than they ever imagined. Whether your job is to serve guests directly (e.g. from Guest Services, as Bar or Clubhouse team member or on the Touring, Entertainment and Leisure teams) or in any other equally important function that keeps our parks clean, maintained and running smoothly (e.g. in the Accommodation, Maintenance, Holiday Home Sales, After Sales, Kitchen and Administration teams) – we WANT you to have friendly chats with guests and owners whenever you meet them and to ask if you can do anything else for them so they have the best time ever.
10
Holiday Heroes
So don’t be shy! Greet every Guest you meet with a smile and simply say hello and have a chat – and if there’s something they need or any way we can help them celebrate or enjoy their visit more, simply help them directly or let your Supervisor or Guest Services know and we’ll happily sort it out for them. What makes a great Holiday Hero? Going the extra mile to be Attentive, Amazing and Lovers. Have a look at the next couple of pages to see how you can become an even better Holiday Hero!
This ensures we get things right. It means we are eager to put it right when things are wrong.
This makes us memorable. We stand out from the competition. We craft unforgetable holidays.
Loving our guests and our colleagues means we are always genuine, loyal, thoughtful and sensitive.
What would a Holiday Hero do in these situations?
Scenario 1 You meet an elderly lady in the park, she’s brought a postcard from the shop and she’s written it to her daughter describing what a lovely holiday she’s having. She’s realised she doesn’t have a stamp and the shop doesn’t sell them. What do you do?
Scenario 2 A family come and ask to sign up for the archery class tomorrow. You know the archery course is already full. What do you do?
Scenario 3 You overhear a family in the restaurant, the Dad’s saying “...are you excited about your Birthday tomorrow, Alice?”. What do you do?
12
Holiday Heroes
Scenario 4 An elderly lady has been taken ill - she doesn’t need a doctor, but is restricted to her accommodation for at least a few days. What do you do?
Scenario 5 You overhear someone saying that they were unhappy with the cleanliness of their accommodation when they arrived but didn’t want to complain. What do you do?

the importance
of team knowledge It is important that we delight all of our guests, rather than just ‘serve’ them. If guests feel that we really care about them and are prepared to ‘go the extra mile’ to make their stay the best ever, your park will be more vibrant, more successful and your job more rewarding. One of the most important ways we can ALL ensure guest satisfaction is for us ALL to enthusiastically engage with guests at EVERY opportunity as Holiday Heroes.
This means EVERY member of the team, irrespective of their job or position, should have an in-depth knowledge of EVERYTHING we offer and can naturally interact with guests to tell them about it.
Having good knowledge helps us to communicate better so we can excite guests about the experiences we (and our locality) can provide. And, if we do that well, our guests will get be more impressed by us and the Away Resorts brand and enjoy more of what we offer – and so provide for our commercial success, the profitability of all our parks and the security of everyone’s future on the team.
All Team members should actively seek to develop their knowledge
Good knowledge creates better interaction with guests
Better interaction introduces guests to more of what we have to offer
Guests who know more will discover more of what they want
Those guests enjoy even fuller and more rewarding experience
And we, in return, maximise the income we generate - not by selling to guests but by giving them more choice, so they want to spend more

The Importance of Team Knowledge
Greeting and
interacting with
guests
Genuine enthusiastic greetings
Lights, camera, action!
Our guests are on holiday; so they expect us to be warm, polite, enthusiastic, genuine and caring in our interaction with them.
We know that you are not on holiday and that the everyday pressures of work and life might mean that you won’t always feel your best. But our guests have come to us to escape those same pressures, so whatever we feel; it’s up to us to help them feel great.
There is no need for you to be shy: Our guests are not like the strangers you might be cautious to speak to on a high-street; guests have paid for you to take an interest in them and want you to do so! So everyone on the Team should ALWAYS: •
Acknowledge every guest with a look and a genuine smile – even if they are not close enough to speak to.
•
Give every guest an enthusiastic ‘Hello’ and a smile when passing them.
•
Observe and understand what a guest might need in every situation and ask them if you can help.
•
Take a moment to chat politely with a guest that wants to engage with you and take the opportunity to ask them if you can do something to make their stay more enjoyable.
•
Put yourself in the guest’s ‘shoes’ and so empathise with the best way to talk to them and to engage with them.
Think of our parks as being like the stage in a theatre and you the actors; the ‘show must go on’ and no matter how good we feel, we must put on our makeup and walk on stage to give the punters a great time. Lights, camera, action!
Greeting and Interacting With Guests
17
Walking in the guest’s shoes
Matching tone
The idea of ‘walking in someone else’s shoes’ has been around for a very long time.
Matching your approach and tone to each guest is also important – and when you consider not only what a guest might need but also how to approach them about it, you can really impress them with your professionalism and care.
It’s all about rapport and putting yourself in the guest’s shoes as often as possible is important so that you really understand what they most need and what actions are required to satisfy this need.
Imagine... A family arrive to check-in. They are new to Away Resorts and look a little unsure of what to do. A Holiday Hero soon understands this by observing their manner and expression and by putting herself in their shoes. Positive open dialogue is started and each member of the family is engaged appropriately; making them feel at ease and comfortable that we will introduce them to everything we can offer them on this, their first stay. The Holiday Hero is also careful to ensure they are not just putting themselves in the shoes of the family as a whole, but of each individual - as they will all have different needs and requirements. So they might help the head of the family check in whilst being mindful that another family member wants to settle in quickly after a long drive and the kids want to be engaged with the activities they can soon get to.
This is quite simple, yet positively awesome in the mind of the family; who will be delighted by the fact that a member of the Away Resorts team was ‘on the ball’ and anticipated all of their needs. We are all guests. We all know what it’s like to be ignored in a hotel, shop or restaurant where staff fail to appreciate what we need. So the essence of standing in someone else’s shoes is almost literal. When you mentally ‘wear’ the shoes of your guest in a genuine manner, what you’re now aware of is very significant. In fact you suddenly realise what steps you need to take to both serve and truly delight the guest.
18
Greeting and Interacting With Guests
The effect of good matching will mean creating an instant connection with the guest. They will like you, and with that - they will like Away Resorts too. The ways you can achieve this include: •
Observing someone’s look and returning it
•
Consider matching someone’s tone, volume and speed without copying or imitating them.
•
Look and be interested in what they find interesting.
•
Talk about what they want to talk about.
Of course you may wonder what to do if someone isn’t smiling when you first meet them. Maybe they’ve had a long journey and are very tired. This is where you must add ‘a level’ to your approach – i.e. you match the guest but add one or two more levels of positivity because you are a bright and friendly Holiday Hero. This doesn’t necessarily mean with a big smile, just a little more positively than what you are seeing. Matching is probably the aspect of interacting with guests that requires most practice, yet it will help you become an excellent communicator in the long term. If in doubt, think of how you would like to be addressed and made to feel happier when you are in a guest’s mood or situation and simply act naturally and genuinely in that way.

The roles of
each team member
on a park Away Resorts teams work together with a joint spirit and the one goal of delighting every guest. Teams at our parks are relatively small, so we all work closely together and ‘muck in’ to get the job done and care for guests’ needs, even if that means doing something for which we are not normally responsible. Guests want to be able to get what they need from any Team Member they engage with. This means everyone must have excellent knowledge of what we offer and how they and their fellow Team Members can help deliver it.
Management General Manager (‘GM’) Your General Manager is there to motivate and inspire every member of the team to do their best so every guest enjoys every aspect of their stay in a fun and friendly park that you all love working at! The General Manager is also ultimately responsible for everybody’s safety, well-being and the achievement of high standards at all times. They must understand every offering and operation at their Park and manage every Team Member in the efficient running of the Park and to deliver extraordinary standards of service to delight every guest.
They can and must make key decisions at any level – whether it is managing the budget, performance and other commercial elements of the Park, dealing with issues that affect the satisfaction and experience of guests or simply spotting the many small things that would make the Park perform better with a little improvement. The GM is hands-on and always ready to help other Team Members with any support they need to deliver the best experience to our guests. All managers are always approachable and ready to muck in, just like everyone else. Our GMs will only ask Team Members to do things they are happy to do themselves – and often do. The GM constantly looks to improve how we work in Away Resorts and aims to empower you all to be the best Holiday Heroes that you possibly can be!
Guest Experience Manager The Guest Experience Manager works hard to help everyone looking after our guests and our facilities to provide the greatest ‘WOW!’ to all our guests from the fabulous presentation, cleanliness, maintenance and customer-service that we all work hard to provide. They are boundless in their energy to support the Maintenance, Touring, Accommodation, Holiday Sales and Guest Services team to ensure we present the best park and facilities in an outstanding condition with the most friendly and caring customer service anywhere!
The Roles of Each Team member on a Park
21
Commercial Manager The Commercial Manager is tireless in their quest to get all the tills on their park ringing with the sound of happy guests cheerfully spending more of what they can afford with us, so they enjoy more of what we have to offer! This means that they enthusiastically motivate and inspire Entertainment, Leisure, Bar and Restaurant and Retail teams to tempt every guest and owner with the very best and most enjoyable food, drink, activities, products and entertainment – served by brilliant Holiday Heroes that give guests the best choice and service available on any park in the land! And because happy holidaymakers are so impressed with what we have on offer, the Commercial Manager can also help support the Holiday Homes Sales team to sell more holiday homes to happy owners!
Maintenance Manager The Maintenance Manager and their team are superheroes that spot and quickly fix any repair or maintenance on the park that’s needed with excellent workmanship so that repairs last and guests can enjoy their accommodation and all our facilities in the best condition without disruption. The Maintenance Manager motivates, inspires and supports Maintenance and Grounds teams (and third-party contractors) to ensure the best possible presentation, maintenance, preservation, upkeep, operation, safety and repair of all buildings, accommodation, assets, amenities, plant, grounds, roads and pathways on their Park and (for a charge) to provide excellent maintenance services to Owners.
22
The Roles of Each Team member on a Park
Touring Manager The Touring Manager puts the glamping into camping! They and their team pamper our touring and Canvas Village guests with the very best pitches, sparkling shower blocks, posh Canvas Village cottages and Bell Tents and well maintained facilities so that being ‘close to nature’ was never so much fun! They and their team work hard to make a stay with us ‘in the wild’ is just as enjoyable and cosy as staying on any other part of the park – and provides the same very high levels of cleanliness, maintenance and customer service. (The Touring Manager also works closely with the Accommodation Manager, as is the Accommodation team that cleans the Canvas Village cottages and Bell Tents).
Accommodation Manager/ Housekeeping Manager The Accommodation Manager puts the ‘sparkle’ into every guest’s accommodation so that they start their holiday in beautifully presented surroundings they are proud to call ‘home’ during their holiday! They motivate, inspire and support our fantastic cleaning teams for the excellent cleaning, presentation and inventory of accommodation (including the Canvas Village, if present) on every changeover day (and every day but Sunday in catered Parks such as Mill Rythe) and the daily morning cleaning of all public areas. The AM and Holiday Sales Manager both work closely with our new Roving Trainer (who reports to the HSM) so that everyone on the cleaning team has the best advice, skills development and ongoing training to provide the best standard of cleaning in the land!
Holiday Sales Manager
Retail Manager
Our reception at Guest Services is the first and best place to give holidaymakers a great impression and to ‘WOW!’ them with fabulous service in anticipation of all the fun yet to come during their stay!
The Retail Manager is a commercial ace who seeks every opportunity to entice guests with brilliant food, drink and other great things they want to buy and enjoy, all served expertly by friendly, welcoming, attentive and amazing bar, restaurant and retail staff.
Our Holiday Sales Managers motivate, inspire and support the Guest Services team to enthusiastically welcome and efficiently check-in guests, to assist them with all the information and help they need during their stay (as our ‘front desk) and to tempt even more holidays.
Entertainment Manager Roll up, roll up! Hold onto your hats and tie down your laughing gear! The Entertainment Manager and their team ensures that every guest has the most fun (and then some more fun!) during their holiday by producing top of the bill evening entertainment by night and exciting activities for young and old by day! They motivate, inspire and support their team (and the third-party entertainers and activity providers we work with) to excite every guest with more to do and more to see on our parks than anywhere else! Of course, the Entertainment Manager and their team are responsible for the safety of guests during our entertainments and on any of our activities – at the same time as making sure they have the most fun.
They motivate, inspire and support their team to provide the highest standards in all retail operations on the Park including bars, restaurants, café and kiosk offerings and interaction with the (usually third-party) operators of on-park shops. They also support staff at the Clubhouse to ensure it remains clean, tidy and attractive; with everything fully stocked up and well merchandised; guests promptly served and hygiene and food safety strictly observed.
Catering/Kitchen Manager (Where a separate position) The Catering or Kitchen manager ensures we delight our guests with the tastiest treats from our delicious menus of great food with great value. They motivate, inspire and support fantastic people in our kitchens and food outlets to prepare all our food items following the strictest hygiene and food safety practices in the best possible way so that they are mouth-wateringly good and served on time.
Leisure and Pool Manager/Team The Leisure and Pool team provide the brightest, happiest and safest environment for guests to have the most fun at our pools, splash pads and other Clubhouse spa facilities – whether they want to laze in the sun or get busy getting wet! They ensure that our pools are always clean and safe and that the leisure team positively supervises their use so that everyone has a great time.

They are vital in keeping the Park running efficiently and guests delighted with their accommodation and the facilities, services and amenities of the Park. Guests of any hospitality business are the first to notice maintenance issues and naturally annoyed when they find them. At Away Resorts Parks, the whole Team (and particularly the Maintenance Manager, Maintenance Team and Accommodation Team) should inspect, spot, report and rectify maintenance issues so that our guests never encounter them. The Maintenance Team also maintain our hot tubs to ensure they are a treat that can be enjoyed safely.

Giving every guest a big friendly welcome to start their holiday with a smile!
•
Checking in guests efficiently and giving them all the information they need.
•
Promoting inclusive offers, upgrades and extras to make a guest’s stay even better!
•
Enthusiastically promoting and dealing with bookings and enquiries.
•
Working with the Accommodation Manager and Maintenance Manager to ensure accommodation is beautifully presented and available on time on changeover/check-in days.
•
Providing a friendly and helpful information point for all guests, staffed with the best Holiday Heroes.
•
Promoting re-bookings by delighted guests at this and other Parks.
Cleaner The cleaner is very important to Away Resorts because the high standards of cleaning and presentation that they are tasked with are absolutely key to the first impressions and ongoing comfort of every guest staying with us – to the degree that the quality of cleaning, inventory and presentation of accommodation really can make or break guests’ opinion of their whole holiday experience with us.
The Roles of Each Team member on a Park
25
Entertainment Team
Leisure and Pool Team
This team puts the giggles into guests and the happy into holidays!
The Leisure and Pool team makes splashing or lazing by our pools happy and safe!
Entertainment & Activities – Holiday Heroes
Leisure and Pool – Holiday Heroes
The Entertainment Team facilitates, organises, hosts, delivers and promotes all Entertainment and Activities on the Park (and looks after and coordinates all entertainment and activities offered by third parties) and engages with our guests to help them enjoy their stay with us even more.
The leisure and pool team are primarily responsible for the health and safety of all guests (and everyone working on a Park) at our pools and associated leisure facilities.
The Entertainment Team enthusiastically seeks every natural opportunity to enthral our guests with exciting opportunities to enjoy doing more, seeing more and taking part in more on their holiday. The Entertainment Team (wherever stationed, including mini-golf huts and activity tents/arenas) is one (of now several) points where a guest can book activities via new booking software. The Team is responsible for the safety of guests during our entertainments and on any of our activities. The more that guests enjoy the entertainment and activities we have to offer, the more likely it is that they will enjoy their stay, join more Away Resorts’ (and partners’) activities and be eager to come again. (Note: As Barmouth doesn’t have a Clubhouse, that Park operates activities and some outdoor entertainments in season – but no indoor evening entertainment).
26
The Roles of Each Team member on a Park
They provide attendance and lifeguarding in our pools and maintain the safety, cleanliness, hygiene and presentation of our pools and associated facilities. Like every Holiday Hero they must have a good knowledge of what we offer across their Park and be able to engage with guests to enthusiastically seek every natural opportunity to enthral them with exciting opportunities to enjoy doing more, seeing more and taking part in more on their holiday.
Retail Team
Bar and Restaurant/ Retail Staff
The retail team offers the tasty food and drinks our guests want to buy and ensures they enjoy them so much they keep coming back for more!
The Team will usually be split into Bar Staff, Waiting Staff and Kiosk/Café Staff – but several members may be allocated multiple roles over time.
Head Chef/ Kitchen Supervisor
The Team is responsible for:
Is responsible for the safe, hygienic and efficient operation of each kitchen and the food safety of items it prepares – and, of course, to ensure that all the food we offer to guests is well prepared, well cooked, tasty, well presented and on time.
•
Ensuring the health, safety, cleanliness, hygiene and food and drink safety of everything we offer.
•
Managing queues and welcoming guests.
•
Taking orders and enthusing guests to enjoy more of what we have to offer.
•
Serving orders on time and to the highest quality.
•
Enthusiastically supporting the kitchen, kitchen team and pass.
•
Keeping service and guest areas clean, tidy and cleared.
•
Keeping service counters and bars attractive, clean, well-stocked and well merchandised.
•
Providing the best and most enjoyable environment for the greatest number of guests.
•
Like every Holiday Hero they must have a good knowledge of what we offer across their Park and be able to engage with guests to enthusiastically seek every natural opportunity to enthral them with exciting opportunities to enjoy doing more, seeing more and taking part in more on their holiday.
•
Minimising wastage.
•
Managing (where authorised) the neat, tidy and clean operation of stores and the recording, rotation and security of stock.
•
Assisting our third-party provider with stock control audits.
•
Cleaning and tidying the area upon closing.
All Head Chefs/Kitchen Supervisors are responsible to maintain kitchen operations and food costs in line with the budget and so also to minimise waste. At catered Parks (e.g. Mill Rythe) the Head Chef will also be responsible for setting the menu and buffet for breakfast and evening meals in line with the budget and the quality and variety that our guests there expect. These are high-pressured jobs because, by the nature of all our Parks (and by the meal-times set at Mill Rythe), many guests will all want to be served at the same time.
Kitchen Team The number of Kitchen Staff and their roles will depend on the size of the Park and the food offering. Mill Rythe operates a large high-volume kitchen with dedicated roles; most other Parks will operate a team of preparation staff that support the Kitchen Supervisor in multiple roles. Busy restaurants may also dedicate a member of the kitchen team to management of holt-holding and the pass.
(Note that our Barmouth Park has no in-house retail offering)
The Roles of Each Team member on a Park
27
working
in the team Away Resorts Team Members work together as Holiday Heroes to delight every guest in every way during their holiday with Away Resorts.
•
And at the same time understand that there’s always lots to do; so we don’t unnecessarily accompany another Team Member on a job that only needs one person to do well, when we could be doing something extra ourselves.
•
Share information that is important to our guests, such as special offers or promotions they would like, celebrations, special requests and any assistance they need, so that everyone knows to make them feel special.
•
Carry out all the jobs given to us by any manager to the very best of our abilities – enthusiastically and without argument.
•
Understand that anything we are asked to do is for the good of the Park or the delight of our guests, so it is worth doing well.
•
Keep our opinions on any guest or teammate (past or present) to ourselves and avoid gossip so our approach always remains positive.
•
Leave our ‘bad hair days’, frustrations and differences at home and get on with our jobs with the best foot forward and a genuine smile.
This means working together to get things done in the best way possible. If we act together as one happy enthusiastic team, every guest will feel they have been treated to something special through extraordinary interactions with every single Team Member. This delights guests (and reinforces our good image) much more than just one or two individual Team Members being ‘stars’. So we: •
•
Communicate with our teammates in the same happy polite manner a guest would expect to enjoy. Are busy and understand that our colleagues are busy too, so we are patient and always have time for each other.
•
All ‘muck-in’, whenever we are free, to delight our guests, give the best service and to keep the Park safe, clean and tidy.
•
Actively seek to help each other by empathising with our teammates’ needs and offering our support before they need to ask for it.
28
Working in The Team
Minimum personal
team member
standards The entire set of manuals, your training and every interaction with managers include ways of doing things to meet the standards of excellence Away Resorts wants to inspire in our Teams and that our guests expect. We reflect what our guests expect in the following minimum personal standards that we expect in every Team Member’s approach to work. These are detailed below.
Knowledge The subject of this section, all Team Members must have excellent knowledge and actively seek to continually improve it.
Attitude
Tone The Team will always act in a manner that empathises with each individual guest’s needs by ‘walking in their shoes’ and by matching the tone they would most appreciate at the time.
Problem solving Our Team will always act to delight every guest and have the attitude that they are always happy and ready to work their hardest to solve any problem a guest might have – whether that is something we must improve or simply some assistance that a guest needs. Solving problems means that we improve our business and discover new opportunities to delight our guests, we are always eager to help.
All Team Members will come to work with an enthusiastic, friendly and positive attitude as Holiday Heroes ready to support their teammates and delight our guests in every interaction. We know it’s sometimes hard to be ‘full of beans’ when you’ve had a bad day or are worried by something. We genuinely sympathise, but the ‘show must go on’ because our guests have come to forget their own worries and enjoy a fantastic holiday in our excellent care. All our managers have an ‘open-door’ policy and are there to support you if you want to chat about anything, need help or just want a bit of a pep-talk to kick-start a happy day on the job. Minimum Personal Team Member Standards
29
Personal presentation The personal presentation of our team members at all levels is key to the brand image of Away Resorts internally and to our guests. We are a holiday business but not ‘on holiday’ and aim to project a professional yet informal and friendly image. Other standards that we expect of your presentation:
Uniform Uniform is important so that guests can easily recognise the Team for anything they need. Apply to your GM for supplies of new and replacement uniform (which they will provide from stores or by ordering directly from the national supplier through the purchase system). Please refer to the Standards of Staff Appearance booklet for more information on uniform.
30
Minimum Personal Team Member Standards
Personal presentation and hygiene:
Standards regarding uniform You should refer to the current Uniform Guidelines (available from your manager) for details of the latest uniform and standards. • •
Wear the appropriate uniform (that is clean, ironed, well-fitting and well cared for) and a smile! You must start every day with a clean and fresh uniform.
•
Always be in clean uniform or appropriate protective clothing (which must be clean and in good condition), when handling food.
•
Personal Protective Equipment is provided and must be used as required by Manuals.
B: Those working in any kitchen and handling food N and drink in any way MUST be in clean uniform. NB: The chemicals involved in cleaning, the treatment of some bar and restaurant equipment and in treating pools and hot tubs can cause fading and marking if they are splashed on to clothing. Please take care to wear suitable protective tabards, aprons or waterproofs as provided and discuss replacement with your Manager as required. •
When provided, you must wear the trousers and boots provided – not your own.
•
You may not alter the fashion of the provided uniform.
•
You must not wear your own clothes or previous versions of uniforms.
•
Uniforms must be replaced when they become washed-out or tatty.
•
Pay attention to personal hygiene, deodorising and freshness.
•
Hair should be neat and clean. Long hair should be tied back and a protective net worn when preparing or serving food. Facial hair should be trimmed and neat and a protective net should be worn over a beard or moustache when preparing or serving food.
•
Keep fingernails short, clean and unvarnished (false nails must not be worn).
•
Wear the minimum of simple jewellery (which remains your responsibility at all times)::
•
Preferably, wear no jewellery at all (except a watch and wedding band).
•
If ear-rings are worn, then studs only.
•
Necklaces should not be worn outside clothing, as they pose a choking risk.
•
Visible body piercing, other than of earlobes, is not in line with the personal presentation standards of Away Resorts. You may be required to remove nose, tongue, eyebrow, lip or any other visible studs or rings at a manager’s request.
•
Not wear excessive perfume or aftershave.
•
Please do not smoke, chew gum, eat or drink while working or walking around Away Resorts Parks.
When near or handling food: •
Not wear jewellery or watches whilst handling food (except plain wedding ring/sleepers).
•
Cover all cuts and grazes on exposed skin with a waterproof blue plaster.
•
Not smoke, drink, chew or eat whilst handling food.
•
Avoid touching nose, ears, hair or mouth and coughing or sneezing over food. Communication with guests.
Minimum Personal Team Member Standards
31
Communication with guests
Gossip
You should be able to match and empathise with the tone and approach of communication that different guests will appreciate. It should go without saying that this means you will always be:
Gossip should be left to soap-operas and breakfast shows on TV; it is pointless and often hurtful and disruptive. Worse, if any guest or fellow Team Member hears us gossip about anyone else, they will be sure to think that we’d gossip about them too. Please never gossip.
•
Polite.
•
Approachable.
•
Friendly yet respectful.
•
Attentive, giving them your full attention and stopping anything else you are doing.
•
A good listener to understand exactly what they really need.
•
Enthusiastic to exceed their expectations.
Communication with other team members Communicate with your other team ways in the same polite, approachable, friendly, attentive and enthusiastic way that we would with guests. The reasons for this are twofold: 1. I t is the most decent and productive way of working together and maintaining a happy Team. 2. G uests will notice how we communicate with each other and it will affect what they think about us and how they think we might interact with them – even if they can’t hear you and can only see the matching body language.
Facebook workplace We operate a dedicated Facebook at work (‘Workplace’) platform that is a great way to share information between colleagues on your park. This is not visible to any guests, so you can use the platform to communicate on operational issues and to take part amongst the community of your colleagues. It’s a great resource, we look forward to seeing you there!|
32
Minimum Personal Team Member Standards
Supporting managers and fellow teammates A ship that is going to stay on course needs a captain. In order that we can stay on course towards delighting every guest, we need our managers at the helm to ensure that all the little things we do add up to keep us in that direction because only they have an overall view of where we’re going. Sometimes a Team Member might not immediately be able to see why the task they have been given is important, but it will be just as crucial as everything else that it keeps us on course. And, like any good captain, our managers will never ask you to do anything that they aren’t perfectly prepared to do themselves. So please give your managers and fellow team mates the enthusiastic support that they need in everything that we do!
Confidential and commercially important information
Acting as ambassadors for Away Resorts off-duty
There are things that any business needs to keep confidential because they are commercially sensitive or would give our competitors an advantage if they became known.
All Team Members will be inspired to act as positive ambassadors for Away Resorts, wherever and whenever they interact with guests and the public. A brilliant and friendly Holiday Hero will always be proud to act as if they were on duty.
This manual is a good example; if the contents were to fall into the hands of competition – they would know everything that we were doing to offer an excellent service and so be able to copy it, meaning we would lose our competitive advantage. Other things that should be kept confidential can include: •
Any manuals, instructions and other reference materials.
•
Recipes, methods or quality control instructions of anything we sell.
•
Access to our intranet or any other portal to which we subscribe.
•
Any communication – other than to its intended recipients.
•
Costs, price structures, margins, discounts and deals internally or with suppliers.
•
Contracts, SLAs, arrangements and terms and conditions of business.
•
Any internal argument, dispute, happening, gossip or situation (there are proper channels to sort these things, which we will happily help you with).
If people know that you are part of the Away Resorts Team or can identify that you are from your uniform (or anything else), then how you behave and what you say will always also reflect on their image of Away Resorts as a company and brand. The more people that hear from us how much we enjoy working at Away Resorts and observe how positive we are both in and out of work, the more of them will think about joining us as guests (or as a member of our Team).
Minimum Personal Team Member Standards
33
Use of telephones, mobiles and walkie-talkies at the Park Landline telephones and manager’s mobiles Communicate on telephones as guests and teammates would expect you to in person (as detailed above). Please do not make or receive personal calls on company phones.
Mobile phones and smart-phones and internet Mobile phone coverage is poor at some Parks anyway, but please: •
Keep your personal mobile on a ‘silent’ or ‘vibrate’ mode.
•
Restrict your use of mobile phones when on duty to only the most crucial calls.
•
Always immediately end a call if a guest wants to speak with you.
•
Do not answer personal calls in front of guests.
•
Do not use your mobile for internet or VOIP (Facetime, Viber, Skype, WhatsApp, etc.) access via any Wi-Fi at a Park. (Our bandwidth and speeds are sometimes low by the nature of our remote Park and so must be reserved for guest and office use only).
•
You may not use Facebook, Twitter or other social media (unless authorised to do so for business purposes), whilst on duty.
•
You must not communicate in any way about Away Resorts on any form of social media.
34
Minimum Personal Team Member Standards
Walkie-talkies Communicate on walkie-talkies as guests and teammates would expect you to (as detailed to left). NB: Please remember that walkie-talkies are audible and can be heard by our guests – so don’t say anything that you wouldn’t normally want a guest to hear. A good practice is to keep all general communication on one channel (keeping walkie-talkies in Guest Services on that channel) at a lower volume and switch to another channel for more private operational communication out of guest earshot.
enhancing
guest choice Enhancing guest choice means looking for as many opportunities as possible to increase, inform and remind guests of the choices we have on offer – so that they enjoy and are delighted by even more of what they might like and so spend more time and money at the Park. You should always be thinking of and reminding guests of the ways they can enjoy their holiday more by joining in more of activities and entertainments we have to offer or by adding a little extra something to their orders at our bars and restaurants.
Enhancing Guest Choice

Other
away resorts
parks
You should know the location, type and summary of what all our other parks offer, so that you can introduce them to our guests. If guests feel that they can get the same great service and experience in other parks across the country, then they are more likely to want to keep returning to us (and to your park again) over the years. You can find the most current information on our website – www. awayresorts.co.uk – and everyone on the team must be familiar with that website.

The away resorts
experience What should make Away Resorts special? Delighting our guests We should all be working together to delight all of our guests all of the time by being the best Holiday Heroes, so that we can continue to attract a loyal base of regular guests - families, couples and groups who want to keep returning to us for more short breaks or longer holidays and who want to give us fabulous reviews and to recommend us to their family and friends. This requires: •
Everyone to be an active and brilliant Holiday Hero!
•
Excellent cleanliness, inventory and presentation of our accommodation, facilities and park.
•
Excellent maintenance of the same.
•
Outstanding effort by EVERY TEAM MEMBER on every park to engage with guests in a natural, genuine and enthusiastic way at every opportunity to find ways to serve them even better.
38
The Away Resorts Experience
•
Brilliant team knowledge so that we can introduce guests to more of what they would enjoy and buy into.
•
Interesting, exciting, enjoyable and wellmanaged entertainment and activities that are always vibrant because we have enthused more guests to take part in them.
•
A safe well-managed environment that protects all of our guests of all ages all of the time, so that they can enjoy their stay in safety and comfort without incident.
•
An open approach to suggestions and complaints and a positive attitude to putting things right and problem solving.
•
Great interaction with our owners so that we sell more holiday properties and ensure that owners enjoy staying on the park just as much or even more than our guests.
Our parks
Our team
Our Parks are set in interesting locations with many fantastic facilities, features, views, activities and local attractions to explore.
Our teams are what make the difference to our guests’ holiday experiences. We go out of our way to ensure we attract the right type of people. Attitude and approach is as important as experience.
Our Parks are perfect to get away from the bustle of everyday life, to escape, relax, unwind and reconnect with partners, family and friends – but we also provide non-stop fun and entertainment for those that want it. We should have the knowledge to enhance the choices guests have available so that they can spend their holiday making the most of what they want to enjoy, the way they want to enjoy it – whether that is kicking-back in beautifully cleaned, maintained and presented accommodation; exploring the peaceful locations in which we are located; making the most of family time around our pools; trying a new activity or revelling in an adrenalin sport.
Our personality is always enthusiastic, polite and matched to the guest’s expected tone. We are all happy ambassadors of Away Resorts, the environment and locations around us and what we have to offer. We are all the very best Holiday Heros! We aim to continually invest in the support and development of our team to continue to make your jobs more rewarding and to demonstrate our appreciation of the hard work everyone does on their Parks. And the great thing is that YOU are a part of this exciting brand.

Guest changeover
and booking Typical bookings duration Most typically, our guests will either book a 3 night weekend or a week break with us. We prefer to guide guests towards a Friday or Monday check-in – and by virtue of the fact that we can prepare a unit on a Friday for a Saturday CheckIn, can offer that too.
We are more flexible with booking arrangements for large parties arriving on any day other than a Wednesday or Sunday at Mill Rythe and are flexible with touring bookings (other than the Canvas village)

Types of accommodation and check in/out times
The standard check in and out times are shown for each type on the next few pages:
Exact specifications, layouts and models of accommodation will vary by park – but accommodation grouped into 6 types (not including our touring and camping guests) and the associated grades detailed in the following table (prices shown are lowest, out of the summer season).
It is important that our Accommodation Teams understand the different levels of accommodation that we provide – and that our approach is to provide a consistent level of experience in the different models of accommodation at the same grade – i.e. at the Luxury, Superior, Comfort and Value levels that most of our accommodation falls into (except the Canvas Village).

Online Check In
- Give them the phone number of the manager or team member on duty.
Guests can log into ‘My Account’ on the Away Resorts website to manage their booking, but this does not currently allow for online check-in.
- Ensure that you have the correct guest details and card details (if required).
- Tell them which accommodation unit they will be staying in.
- Inform them of where to collect their key – and the code number to release it (if a coded lockbox is installed) or how to contact the manager or team member on duty when they reach the Park. In Parks where the Clubhouse typically stays open late, the keys may also be left there with a responsible person.
- Inform them that they will need to visit Guest Services) at a convenient time for them) on the next morning to finalise the check in.
Late check in Some guests may not be able to get to us before Guest Services closes, although all parks will have a Manager or Team Member on call or on duty at night. (The duty person at the Guest Services reception in Mill Rythe will normally be in attendance, so the following need not apply). We expect that most late-arriving guests will let us know in good time to make arrangements to facilitate late check in. It is important that at least ONE HOUR BEFORE GUEST SERVICES CLOSES that the Team reviews bookings for the day and attempts to get in touch with any guests that have not yet made it to the Park, so that they can assist guests with directions and find out whether to wait for them or to make other arrangements to facilitate their late check in. Late check in procedure: •
Process the check in.
•
Attach late check in paperwork (registration, welcome letter etc.) to the key.
•
Place the key and paperwork in the late check in coded lockbox or hand them both to the manager or team member on duty.
•
If a coded lockbox is not available, ensure that the manager or remember holding the key will be available around the time of the guests’ estimated arrival.
•
Keys must NOT be left in ‘safe places’ (e.g. in the accommodation unit’s door or under a car wheel etc.) other than a coded lockbox – the security risk is too high.
Contact the guest and find out if they will be too late to wait for.
- (Make your best efforts to wait for them if they will only be a little late).
- Ensure that the guest is aware of how to get to the Park because it may be difficult for them to get through to anyone to help them after Guest Services (and then the Clubhouse) closes.

upgrades and extras There are various items that we can deliver to a room/accommodation unit at the guest’s request. In-room packs can really make a guest feel that they have added a bit of luxury to their stay without the hassle of having to get them together for themselves (especially on a first day, when they’d rather settle in than go shopping).
Toiletries (per person on beds) •
Bath and shower gel – just for you (Pattersons)
•
hampoo and conditioner – S just for you (Pattersons)
•
Hand and body wash – just for you (Pattersons)
Of course, the margin we enjoy on these packs should be enough that it’s worth our while putting them together and delivering them – at the same time as presenting enough perceived value that a guest isn’t just tempted to drive to the nearest supermarket to get the same. Both margin and perceived value can often both be satisfied by balancing enough high perceived value/ medium margin and medium perceived value/ high margin items in each ‘basket’.
•
Soap – just for you (Pattersons)
Welcome pack (nicely presented in a wicker basket in the kitchen – inc wine glasses) •
48 Tea bags
•
1 Jar of coffee
•
1 Bag of sugar
Standard Packs can include:
•
2 Pints of milk in the fridge
Towels (per person folded on beds)
•
1 Pack of biscuits
•
Hand towel white - sunlight
•
•
Bath towel white – sunlight
Bottles of beer and 1 bottle of wine 2 in the fridge
•
Kiddies drinks (fruit shoot etc) 2 in the fridge

In Accommodation Upgrades and Extras
And General Managers should consider pricing and putting together additional packs that can be easily resourced and provide an adequate margin (subject to ultimate approval by the Support Office), these might include: (Note that some of these are only appropriate on selfcatered parks): Romantic night-in pack •
E.g. a bottle of champagne, chocolates, a selection of fresh fruit, rose petals, pampering toiletries, etc.
Lazy evening pack •
E.g. a bottle of wine, soft drinks for kids, a selection of two of our freshly-made pizzas (where available), popcorn, chocolates and a pack of cards with instructions for great family games, etc.
Do it yourself barbecue pack •
E.g. a disposable family-sized barbecue, BBQ sauce, disposable BBQ tools – and where the risk is mitigated by clearly setting out that food is cooked at the guest’s own risk – a catering pack of sausages, meat, coleslaw and buns, etc.
Kid’s activity pack •
E.g. various Away Resorts pre-printed activity pages, colouring book, colouring pencils, a craft activity, branded souvenir, bag of sweets and Fruit Shoot, etc.
Promotion of park retail in-room A guest is obviously going to spend a good portion of their stay in their room/ accommodation – even if only for sleeping and for the lazy mornings and evenings that bookend all the other great experiences they can enjoy at and around our parks. So we must take every opportunity to keep guests informed of what we can offer on a park by promoting it in the room. Ways we can achieve this include: •
- A map and details of facilities.
- Events and activities this season/ week.
- Upgrades available.
- In-room packs available.
- Restaurant menu (& Half-board options) – (Self-Catered)
- Rentals (bikes etc).
- Available promotions.
- Promotions for early re-booking (and referring friends, if in place).
•
Placing restaurant (self-catered) and snack-bar promotional menus in-room/accommodation – (and delivery menus, if offered).
•
Placing promotional details of our eateries and on-park retail opportunities on the inside of the most commonly used kitchen cupboard (self-catered).
•
Placing a leaflet promoting in-room packs in a prominent place.
•
Promoting that we can supply towels and toiletries on a card in each bathroom.
Kid’s nature-watch pack •
E.g. an Away Resorts branded nature-watch fascinating facts and instruction book, a naturespotting activity for that park, ‘toy’ specimen jar, ‘toy’ specimen magnifier, junior nature warden badge, etc.
Packed-lunches for days out
(The Hemel Office would welcome your ideas for any in-room packs that we may add that have a universal appeal, will be in some demand, can be easily resourced, are low-risk and present a good margin).
Including brochures for everything we offer in a welcome-pack handed out on EVERY check-in and particularly detailing:

Familiarise
yourself
What’s in the menu
Entertainment and activities
The current menu for your Park is appended in the appendix to this section – or is available from the Clubhouse. Please familiarise yourself with it.
The current entertainment and activities for your park are appended to this section – or are available from promotional leaflets at Guest Services and or in the Clubhouse. You should familiarise yourself with what we have to offer – so that you can promote it to guests.
An idea of the range at the shop You should all take a moment to step into and familiarise yourselves with what is available in the shops on your Park. Although these will usually be operated by a third-party, it is important that you can help our guests should they ask you if they can find something they need or want on the Park. Keeping guests on the park because you can point them to the shop when it stocks what they need means that they are more likely to spend more with us because they haven’t been enticed by other attractions in the locality when forced to trip out to visit the local supermarket.

Bike rental Bikes are reserved, booked and paid for at guest services and collected from (or delivered) the maintenance team attending the bike shed.
guest complaint
and suggestion
handling Process
Handling guest complaints:
We do everything we can to satisfy our guests and to give them a brilliant experience. Nevertheless, no business operates without incurring complaints from time to time.
•
Always welcome the complaint – “thank you for bringing that to my attention”
•
Always apologise if we haven’t satisfied the guest and handle complaints positively, honestly and directly.
•
We welcome complaints and feedback because they help us to continually improve the standards of our service.
•
There is usually a very genuine reason for a complaint and most guests that complain are friendly, genuine people.
•
If you deal with complaints calmly, positively and enthusiastically you will better understand what went wrong. If you then work hard to solve the problem and stop it from happening again – complaints will help us all to become even better!
•
Another good reason to handle complaints positively is that guests who have had a problem resolved beyond their expectations will often become your most loyal.
- (NB: Apologising that a guest has experienced dissatisfaction, empathising with them and trying our best to sort things out is expected in every circumstance – but be careful not to admit liability whether or not we were the cause).
•
Try to get to the root of any misunderstanding there and then, solving the problem efficiently and offering a positive remedy quickly.
•
Some complaints can be satisfactorily remedied immediately through improved service – e.g.: by asking the Accommodation Team to visit immediately to rectify a cleaning issue.
•
If the complaint is a little more serious and might need intervention, a free or replacement item or gesture, discount or reduction to remedy – call the GM or manager on duty to speak with the guest.
- (Within reason, if the complaint is simply about a small food or drink order, simply replace the unsatisfactory item and record it on the EPOS [or on a note in the cash drawer, in the absence of EPOS])
Guest Complaints and Suggestion Handling
51
•
If a complaint is about an accident, injury, valuable loss, food-poisoning or contamination, the GM or manager on duty should ALWAYS be called immediately.
•
Also, if the guest asks for the GM or manager on duty, call them.
•
Keep calm even if the complainant doesn’t!
•
Keep the guest continually informed of everything you are doing to rectify their complaint.
•
Be especially attentive towards guests that have complained at any time during their stay.
‘Speed stuns’ A ‘Speed Stun’ is where we respond so quickly to provide for a guest’s need or to rectify the cause of a complaint, that they are impressed with our extraordinary service. By sorting out a request or complaint superefficiently we can often change guests’ dissatisfaction into delight and thus improve their perception of us, even after a problem.
Complaints should be rectified at the Park All but the most serious complaints should be successfully managed at the Park by the GM and their Team – so we don’t expect many/any complaints to need to be elevated to the Operations Director/Support Office. If a complaint can’t immediately be rectified at the Park or if a guest complains after leaving the Park, then it should be promptly reported to the Operations Director at the Support Centre. Every effort must be made to stay in contact with the complainant throughout the process.
Register •
All complaints – however minor – MUST be written down on the Daily Guest Issues form (there is an example in the appendices of this section) – but our emphasis must remain on action to remedy a problem rather than the bureaucracy of recording it.
•
We wholeheartedly support and look after team members that report complaints even if they have made a mistake – as long as we can all learn from it.
•
We do not support team members that try to hide complaints or mistakes.
We aim to solve all guest complaints with a Speed Stun. A very important reason to try to ‘Speed Stun’ is to rectify any issue before it escalates into more permanent bad-feeling and the risk of the loss of a previously loyal guest, the need for financial remedy or a poor review online. Often, all that is needed is for a member of the Accommodation Team or Maintenance Team to go straight over to the guest’s accommodation to sort out a cleaning or maintenance issue.
52
Guest Complaints and Suggestion Handling
The Register is kept at Guest Services. Every complaint and suggestion (however small) should also be recorded in brief in the Handover Diary of the day). Any complaint over a maintenance issue should also be recorded in the Maintenance Job Management System – even if it is immediately fixed.
Requests to ‘see the manager’ Some guests may ask to ‘see the manager’ – and any such request is to be handled without delay and with calm respect. A request to ‘see the manager’ does not necessarily mean that a guest has a complaint (although it may often do); guests may also like to make a suggestion; give good happy feedback; thank us for something extraordinary we‘ve done or simply greet them because they know them. •
•
•
If a guest asks for ‘the manager’ and your Manager on Duty is not immediately present, simply tell them that you would be happy to get them. The manager can then deal with their request. If a guest asks for ‘the manager’ and they are not available, simply tell them and ask if you could help them or take a message for the manager (we provide suggestions/feedback cards for this purpose and keep a Handover Diary). If a guest wants to talk to the ‘owner’ (I.e. The Support Centre) and nobody from the Support Centre is at the Park, simply direct them to the manager, as above. The manager will then try to help them directly and tell them how to contact or give feedback to the Support Centre if they can’t.
Quick tips dealing with challenging situations: •
Be Friendly.
•
Remember it’s not personal.
•
Empathise.
•
Keep calm.
•
Apologise but do not accept liability.
•
Treat with respect.
•
Keep the guest informed of your actions and developments.
•
Take guests away from the situation to help calm them down or to stop other guests overhearing.
•
Encourage comments as they help improve our Parks and service.
Quick tips dealing with guests who are complementary: We are often so prepared for a challenging guest or situation that we are taken by surprise when a guest makes a positive comment. When this does happen, great! •
Thank them for their comments, as these shape our service just as much as complaints do.
•
Reassure them that the comments will be briefed to the team and the team will be recognised for that.
•
Remain positive and thankful.
•
Have open body language and ask open questions to gain more fantastic comments.
•
Direct them to Trip Advisor or the comments book (where applicable).

Handover
diary
The Handover Diary is a book where items of major importance can be noted, so that all managers (and other Team Members) can quickly see vital things that they need to take account of or deal with. (The Handover Diary isn’t any manager’s actual appointments diary). We keep only one ‘Handover Diary’ on our system; accessible to everyone on the team. Anyone on the Team can make notes in the Handover Diary as long as they are important items like those discussed below:
•
Any situation that has resulted in the implementation of an EAP - which must also be registered in the Incidents Book kept at Guest Services.
•
Any disruption of supply of utilities (electricity, water, stored gas, etc.) to the Park or in the operation of infrastructure (sewerage systems, drainage, etc.).
•
Any abusive, bad, disruptive, damaging or malicious behaviour discovered or reported about any guests or Team Members (who, when, what we did about it).
•
Any situation that has resulted in the need to call for any external body – such as any emergency service (also note in Incidents Book), Environmental Officer etc.
•
Property lost or found (belonging to who, when, where, description and what done about it).
•
Shortages in important items of supply.
•
Faulty, poor quality, broken or returned items that we have sold at a Park (who we sold them to, what was wrong with them and what we did about it).
•
Any important current environmental considerations or dangers (e.g. a path has become dangerously muddy and slippy in the rain; a tree has been damaged in a storm and may be dangerous; etc.) and what we have done to protect guests from that risk.
The sort of things that should be noted in the Handover Diary: •
Guests that have contacted us that they will arrive late.
•
Guests that require special assistance.
•
Special requests.
•
Guests celebrating a major occasion.
•
Any request to ‘see the manager’ (and why and what was done about it).
•
Any other person that would like to arrange to meet a manager (who, why, when), which may include visiting suppliers, official persons etc.
•
Any complaint or suggestion (who made it, who took it and what about) – complaints and suggestions must also be registered on the Guest Issues Form.
•
Any accident or injury (who to and what was done about it) – which must also be registered in the Incidents Book that also kept at Guest Services.

Emergency
procedures
Emergency Action plans (EAPs)
Where to find other Health and Safety information
An emergency action plan sets out exactly what we should do in an emergency. We have a comprehensive set of these because it is important to keep our guests safe in every situation.
Health and Safety is mentioned in the Manual Set where appropriate and often in a summarised format.
You will be introduced to EAPs in your training and a copy of all our EAPs can be found behind the counter at Guest Services and from any manager.
The only authoritative and comprehensive Health and Safety reference is the separate Health and Safety Manual held at the Park by the GM and accessible to all Team Members.
Current EAPs should include: Fire Controlled evacuation Partial evacuation Bomb threat Power and lighting failure Robbery Flood / storm & structural damage Personal threats (Violence to team members) Escape of Hazardous Substances Emission of toxic gases Gas Leak Disorderly behaviour Lost Child/ Persons Overcrowding Indecency Food Poisoning Reported case of Legionella Major/ serious first aid Incident

Local information
and experiences
We hope that guests primarily choose us because of the extraordinary experience that we provide on our Away Resorts Parks.
•
Local services such as petrol stations, service garages, bike repair, etc.
•
Local eateries, takeaways, restaurants, bars and clubs and what they offer, what to try there, how they are rated and typical range of prices.
•
Advice on how to avoid local traffic, difficult roads and tracks or current situations such as flooding, road works and etc.
•
Enhanced local information and things to do:
•
How to book with local activity partners.
The more that guests are inspired to discover everything extra that our Parks can offer, the more they will choose to join us again or visit one of our other Parks.
•
Tourist information on key local places of beauty and interest to visit.
•
Interesting trails and walks.
This means you should be able to advise, assist and inspire them with:
•
When interesting local markets and fairs take place and what they offer.
•
Standard local information:
•
Regular local happenings and events not to miss.
•
Public transport, timetables and access.
•

Taxis and car rental.
Special or seasonal local events, concerts, festivities and celebrations.

Places that are particularly good for children or for a romantic picnic and etc.
•
Local non-emergency services, doctors, dentists, vets etc. (We would of course call emergency services for a guest if needed).
At the same time, we carefully choose our Parks so that they are in areas of outstanding natural beauty and or local interest, so that guests also choose us because they want to explore our neighbourhood and its own attractions. We thus expect our Team to have a thorough and enthusiastic knowledge of everything else to see and do around their Park.
