If you're a BH&HPA member, find information on how to manage these risks - and use the online risk assessment tool - via the knowledge base on the members' website. #WinterSafety #UKParks #parkhome #holidaypark

5 take-home tips from the 'Growth, development & diversification in the parks industry' panel we led at the Land Leisure & Tourism Show on Wednesday, with BH&HPA Director General Debbie Walker: 1️⃣ Know your audience – 'build what they want, not just what you like'. 2️⃣ Get legal and financial advice early on. 3️⃣ Invest in a strong, capable team. 4️⃣ Think strategically about each part of your business – 'that way you can stay ahead of trends'. 5️⃣ Prioritise sustainable practices – consider certifications like B Corp for credibility and impact. Thanks so much to our panel for these valuable insights!
