Jeanette Wilson made MBE in New Years Honours List
Policy director for the British Holiday & Home Parks Association (BH&HPA) Scotland, Jeanette Wilson, has been made an MBE in the 2016 New Years Honours List for her highly-valued services to the holiday parks sector.
A well-known figure within the industry, Wilson is best known for her role as policy director for BH&HPA Scotland, and for the part she plays in helping promote the Best of British group of top-rated independent parks.
Joining BH&HPA in 1993, Wilson has since provided the secretariat to the association in Scotland which comprises more than 200 park businesses. She also represents the parks industry to the Scottish government, Visit Scotland and many other tourism organisations as well as serving as an advisor and mentor to Scottish parks.
Chairman and director of BH&HPA Scotland, Colin Fraser, was amongst the many who paid tribute to Jeanette’s commitment and dedication to the parks industry.
Fraser remarked that Wilson works with efficiency, charm and such kindness that she has become much loved by owners and managers of park businesses across Scotland.
Congratulations were also received from many owners of the 50-plus parks in membership of the Best of British group (BoB) for which Jeanette works in a senior marketing consultancy position.
Her involvement with the consortium spans 14 years, and its chair Claire Jeavons said that Wilson has played a massive and important role in raising the profile of the organisation.
Wilson’s invaluable input, said Jeavons, has helped BoB and its family-run member parks achieve widespread recognition for the high quality facilities and standards of hospitality they provide.
