It is awards season and the south west is at it again but this time it is the Devon Tourism Awards shelling out all the honours

Beverly Holidays’ man Drew Baker was given the gold award in the Unsung Hero For Customer Service category of the awards.

He beat 75 other finalists to the prestigious title and the accolade recognises Drew’s achievements in ensuring that Beverley’s guests enjoy outstanding levels of personal service and hospitality.

Drew stepped up to receive his honour at the glittering finals of the Devon Tourism Awards which were held this autumn at the Great Hall at the University of Exeter.

Mr Baker said: “I am absolutely thrilled to have received this title. Customer service is an area for which I feel a real passion and which is at the heart of everything we do here at Beverley Holidays.

“My aim, and that of all our hard-working team members, is to ensure that holidaymakers enjoy a great experience from start to finish – and leave not as guests, but as friends.”

The customer service superstar’s award followed hot on the heels of his recent success in the Herald Express English Riviera and South Devon Tourism and Hospitality Awards 2016.

Drew, a popular figure among holidaymakers at the multi-award winning park, came away from that ceremony with a sparkling silver award for his skills.
