AHot Water Beach holidaypar­k was rewarded for stellar engagement with their customers by winning a Westpac Franchise Award for 2023 at a gala dinner held recently at Auckland’s Cordis Hotel.

Operators Sheree and Grant Webster from Hot Water Beach TOP 10 Holiday Park won Franchisee - Excellence in Customer Engagement, battling it out against other featured finalists from the largest franchises in

New Zealand.

The award recognises a franchisee who demonstrat­es their commitment to customers and provides consistent­ly excellent customer service.

Sheree Webster, said “Grant and I are thrilled to have won the Westpac New Zealand Franchise Awards 2023 Excellence in Customer Engagement.

“Nothing can make us prouder of our team after nearly four years now of Covid, weather events and infrastruc­ture failures to have them recognised for their incredible commitment to their roles and to the public that they engage with every single day.

“The majority of our customers are internatio­nal and to be able to be at the face of their first interactio­n with New Zealand and New Zealanders makes us so proud that it creates a fantastic experience for both them and largely goes towards the wonderful working culture that our team had built.”

This is Hot Water Beach’s TOP 10 Holiday Parks’ second national award for 2023, with the first being the Hospitalit­y New Zealand Awards for Excellence - Best Mid-scale Accommodat­ion.

A new pool complex is currently being built at the park, and the Websters said they are on track to have it open on Christmas Eve, just in time for the busy summer and festive season.
