Our Environmental Team do an amaz<strong>in</strong>g job around resort every s<strong>in</strong>gle day.<br />

Here are just a t<strong>in</strong>y handful of some of the projects they carried out last year.<br />

Deep clean<strong>in</strong>g of venue carpets, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g Hot Shots, Centre Stage, Reds, Bar Rosso & the Conference Centre.<br />

MONDAY 28TH MAY saw one of the<br />

wettest and stormiest bank holidays <strong>in</strong><br />

recent memory. The United K<strong>in</strong>gdom<br />

had over 28 weather warn<strong>in</strong>gs and<br />

there were 47 flood alerts <strong>in</strong> place and<br />

we didn’t go unscathed.<br />

In less than an hour, torrential ra<strong>in</strong><br />

caused numerous areas around the<br />

resort to flood and cause damage <strong>in</strong> an<br />

extremely short amount of time.<br />

Yet, every department and<br />

every team member bandied<br />

together to keep the resort operational<br />

and to m<strong>in</strong>imise the<br />

direct impact to guests.<br />

Under the watchful eye of the Scoop Cow, the red<br />

road corridor was deep cleaned and tank<br />

scrubbed.<br />

Extensive clean<strong>in</strong>g was carried out on the Football Pitches.<br />

The exterior cladd<strong>in</strong>g on Skyl<strong>in</strong>e was deep cleaned.<br />

Before and after of one of the team<br />

showers.<br />

In the days that followed,<br />

numerous jobs took place top<br />

clear the damage which has<br />

been caused, which <strong>in</strong>cluded<br />

replac<strong>in</strong>g fallen ceil<strong>in</strong>g tiles,<br />

check<strong>in</strong>g water logged plug<br />

sockets and dry<strong>in</strong>g out various<br />

venue carpets.<br />

The carpets at the entrance to Centre Stage were particularly<br />

affected. The Environmental Team were there every morn<strong>in</strong>g clean<strong>in</strong>g<br />

them and ensur<strong>in</strong>g fans were constantly on to dry them out.<br />

Odorisers were also set up to reduce the smell of damp.<br />

It was ra<strong>in</strong>fall on a level unseen for many years and a challenge that<br />

proved, as a Resort, we pull together and excel <strong>in</strong> a crisis.
