A leading holiday park in Lancashire is celebrating winning a coveted VisitEngland ROSE award in recognition of its excellent customer service.
Holgates Holiday Park’s Netherbeck site, near Carnforth in Lancashire, has scooped the award – one of just 100 granted to holiday businesses nationally.
And it’s a double celebration for the Holgates Family Group which owns a total of ten holiday parks in scenic locations around Lancashire and Cumbria – they’ve been selected as a finalist in the Family Business of the Year category of the prestigious In-Cumbria Business Awards.
Netherbeck is one of the smallest parks in the Holgates Family Group and is on the outskirts of Carnforth surrounded by picturesque countryside with views across to Warton Crag.
It’s open exclusively for holiday home ownership and has just 45 holiday homes.
The VisitEngland ROSE Awards, now in their eighth year, recognise accommodation providers in England who deliver a fantastic welcome, provide outstanding customer service and make magical memories for their visitors.
They also recognise how excellent holiday services encourage visitors to discover more of the area they are in and drive tourism spend across local communities.
“It’s a real honour to receive the VisitEngland ROSE Award,” says Michael Holgate from Holgates Holiday Parks. “It is a huge achievement for the team at Netherbeck and testament to their hard work and dedication.
“Nominations for the ROSE Awards are based on feedback from VisitEngland quality assessors and from customers and online reviews. Winning the award is a clear indication our team at Netherbeck are doing an all-round great job.
Michael adds: “It’s also a great honour to be nominated in the Family Business of the Year category of the In Cumbria Awards. Even making the shortlist is a big achievement when you look at the strength and quality of other businesses shortlisted.”
The Family Business of the Year category is judged on how the family business ethos runs through a company, success, sustainability, longevity and positive impact on community and local economy.
The In-Cumbria Business Awards 2024 take place on Friday, November 29, at Dalston Hall Hotel near Carlisle.
