A peek at some of the<br />

happy couples days’<br />

gives you a little taste of what <strong>Ribby</strong> <strong>Hall</strong> <strong>Village</strong> now has to offer.<br />

Following the opening of our Spa Hotel in August 2011, it’s hard<br />

to believe that a whole year has passed and yet so much has<br />

happened in that time - the European Football Championships<br />

are now a distant memory, The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee has long gone, The Open Golf<br />

Championship at Lytham created a great buzz for a week in July and the Glorious Olympics<br />

are well and truly over.<br />

Looking back, I am extremely proud of our achievements during the past 18 years but particularly over<br />

the last 18 months. Our workforce has increased to 345 with another 130 people working within<br />

<strong>Ribby</strong> supporting our core business, a fact that I find gratifying, yet daunting! We also continue to<br />

trade with numerous local food and beverage suppliers and contractors.<br />

I am fortunate to have so many enthusiastic, talented and dedicated people working alongside me<br />

with a mindset of ‘we can always do better’ and I believe this has played a significant role in our<br />

continued success – despite the recession affecting so many holiday and leisure businesses.<br />

Recently I was very proud to see so many international sportsmen staying on The <strong>Village</strong> for The<br />

Open Golf and I am equally pleased that more and more local residents enjoy spending time here - it<br />

would be great to see this trend continue. We have an award-winning Health Club, Conference and<br />

Banqueting Facilities as well as a wide variety of excellent Restaurants and Bars, and a beautiful Spa<br />

Hotel - all available to non-residents.<br />

A warm welcome awaits everyone who visits our <strong>Village</strong> and we genuinely look forward to exceeding<br />

all your expectations during your time with us.<br />
