23rd April 2010, Crown Spa Hotel Winner of Enjoy England Award for Sustainable Tourism.
St George’s Day, the great and good from the UK Tourism Industry gathered in the historic Dome and Corn Exchange in Brighton for the prestigious Enjoy England Awards for Excellence. The annual award gathering meets to formally recognise the very best of English tourism.
Flying the flag for Yorkshire and Scarborough the Crown Spa Hotel earned the coveted Gold Award for Sustainable Tourism, David Frank Administration Director said “This award is official independent recognition of our working team and their commitment “beyond the call of duty” to all things Crown Spa! Further, that any business can reduce its carbon foot print by at least 25% without having to embark on expensive projects as long as you communicate good awareness and the management team implement a well thought out training plan.”
David Frank added that “UK businesses should take note that this approach is based firmly in economic benefits, in the last 5 years our power light and heat costs have reduced overall by over £250K and the costs have been no more than £25K over that period, Simples!”
When you first arrive at the Crown Spa Hotel the most noticeable sustainable statement you will see is the solar panels, but these were only installed after the Hotel had already achieved a 25% CO2 saving, from implementing simple stuff first like behavioural changes resulting from good staff training in awareness of the sustainable agenda, purchasing more efficient plant and equipment on a replacement basis (like LED lights, efficient refrigeration units etc..), bedroom master switches.
Richard Frank Managing Director said “If you can achieve these types of savings in a building which is grade 2 listed and over 165 year old you can do this anywhere, there is no justifiable business reason not to embrace the sustainable agenda as there a sound economic benefits to be had in these difficult times.”
