Sandcastle Waterworld puts training firmly at the fore

More than 50 employees have been put through their paces at Sandcastle Waterworld, Blackpool to achieve the Welcome to Excellence Award.
Welcome to Excellence is a highly successful national customer service initiative with a series of programmes delivered and managed by the Lancashire and Blackpool Tourist Board and supported by the Northwest Regional Development Agency (NWDA) for the whole of the North West region.
Staff from all areas of Sandcastle Waterworld including kitchen assistants through to life guards spent three days dealing with all aspects of training in relation to providing disabled guests with a quality tourism experience at the highly credited Blackpool attraction.
The training comes as the Blackpool landmark has spent more than £30,000 on improvements to the promenade building including access ramps, changing areas and lifts for disabled access to the water.

Says Managing Director, John Child,

“Over the years we have spent time and money on improvements for disabled access - but we wanted to go further. By investing in Welcome to Excellence training for all the staff we can provide consistent high levels of customer service to our visitors as well as develop a highly motivated and well trained workforce.”

In addition to Welcome to Excellence, Sandcastle Waterworld stages in-house training in customer care.
Said Helen Aldous of Welcome to Excellence,

“Sandcastle Waterworld has developed a fantastic working relationship with one of our key trainers, Katy Moussada. The Welcome to Excellence training is proving to be both inspirational and enjoyable for all concerned and resulting in tangible business benefits including increased customer satisfaction.”
