Splashdown Quaywest Revels in 2015 Best Tourism Award

As Splashdown Quaywest, the UK’s biggest outdoor waterpark, readies to open its doors ahead of an exciting 2015 season, they do so with a spring in their step after being named 2015 winners at the prestigious Herald Express South Devon Business Excellence awards.

Brilliantly combining 8 fantastic flume rides and some of the English Riviera's most spectacular views, the family-favourite attraction was announced winner of the Best Tourism/Leisure Award at the glittering awards ceremony on Friday 27th March, beating off stiff competition from a host of popular local attractions including Living Coasts, Totnes Rare Breeds Farm and the annual Fishstock festival, Brixham.

Winning this award not only brings valuable recognition from both customers and peers in the business world but is also a real boost for the hard-working team now in place on Goodrington Sands. It wasn’t the only recognition for Splashdown on the night either, as well as being announced a category winner, the park also finished Runner Up to South Devon College in the Best of Customer Service category.

Jon Lees, Operations Manager at Splashdown Quaywest was delighted with the award: “We are honoured to have been nominated for two awards and shocked to be announced winner of the Best Attraction category.

"The team work very hard towards making the short season, that we are open for, the most successful it can be. Our increasing record visitors numbers, year on year, are a testament to the management team as well as the 100 seasonal staff we employ for the Bay. I am personally very proud of the all the hard work our team do and to be recognised in this way is fantastic for everyone."
