Staff at Burnham-On-Sea Tourist Information Centre were celebrating on Tuesday (December 8th) when they were officially handed a top customer service award.
As first reported by Burnham-On-Sea.com last week, over 290 tourist centres across the UK took part in this year’s Visit England Mystery Shopper Programme in which the centres’ customer service is assessed. Burnham’s centre came second in the South West region and seventh in the whole country.
Pictured above at Tuesday’s celebration are Julia Stuckey (Cultural Manager of the South West Regional Development Agency), Councillor Mrs Anne Fraser MBE (Portfolio Holder for Strategy and Business Services) and David McCubbin (Somerset Tourism Partnership Coordinator) congratulating the centre’s staff.
Centre manager Annette Haggett told Burnham-On-Sea.com: “All the staff are delighted and are committed to raising standards and offering excellent customer service.”
The news comes just a few weeks after Burnham-On-Sea.com reported that the centre’s future could be in doubt due to district council funding cuts.
