Award Winning Holiday Cottages - Success Through Sustainability

We are so pleased to share the great news that we have won the Success Through Sustainability Award of the 2018 Working4Business Awards.

Do awards matter? Perhaps I mean, WHY do they matter?

It is all about recognition.

When you own and operate a small business you’re right there at the coal face, dealing with enquiries and bookings, marketing the properties, constantly reviewing what works, what doesn’t, being social media savvy, organising cleaning and laundry, undertaking maintenance, repair and renewal. And, oh so much more.

Guests love to experience a smooth and friendly service so (we try very hard) to ensure that is what happens. Meanwhile, like many businesses, we are achieving that beautiful gliding across the surface of the lake thing whilst frantically paddling beneath the surface. So, being selected as a finalist for an award offers a moment to pause, reflect and enjoy telling the story of what we’ve achieved in the past 6 years of business. We actually enjoyed our interview and presentation to the judging panel! It’s a great feeling that we have won this award but, even if we hadn't, it has been rewarding to stop and appreciate what we have achieved. These were derelict farm buildings when we settled here, they are now wonderful places to be on holiday in the Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park which have been designed, built and managed to a really high standard of comfort, demonstrating environmental and sustainable design excellence.

It is with great thanks to Dunbartonshire Chamber of Commerce and award sponsors Group Saur that we at East Cambusmoon Holiday Cottages were selected to be winners in the Success through Sustainability Award of the Working4Business awards. Steve had the joy of attending the awards presentations and dinner on Friday and bringing home the fabulous trophy, certificate and champagne. It is also truly a great cause for celebration that 60% of all employment in the UK is with small and medium sized enterprises.

Sustainability runs through everything we do, and it’s absolutely brilliant to be recognised for it.
