Celtic is committed to enhancing and conserving the bountiful wildlife habitats that surround its parks. Not only does this boost the wellbeing and enjoyment of guests who stay, but it ensures that the wonderful biodiversity that surrounds the parks will be enjoyed for a long time to come. Established by Mr C Pendleton and his family 21 years ago, Celtic has grown from a single holiday park managed by a team of six into a multidisciplined enterprise that now employs more than 50. This growth has been remarkable in a predominantly rural area, but thanks to its exquisite surroundings and unparalleled customer service, Celtic has continuously welcomed thousands of guests from across the UK and the world to come and relax and explore. Unlike most holiday parks, Celtic epitomises luxury and indulgence. Whether a guest visits for a short weekend break or is seeking their dream holiday home, they are able to enjoy the boutique, ‘hotel-style’ facilities and choose their accommodation from a portfolio which includes luxury lodges, glamping pods, and safari tents, Based in the east of the Netherlands, Dutch Mirror Factory has become a renowned provider of mirrors that reflect the sort of top quality that only European enterprises can offer.

When they’re not relaxing in their accommodation, it is time for guests to explore – and where better to do so than in the outstanding scenic landscapes of Pembrokeshire? Whether guests choose to venture along some of the 186 miles of coastal footpaths which crisscross Pembrokeshire, or to catch sight of the UK’s largest population of puffins on the unique islands off the coast, or visit one of the other many heritage sites in the area, they are sure to discover something spectacular. However their guests choose to relax and explore, the team at Celtic are dedicated to going above and beyond in creating a seamless and memorable experience for them. Offering knowledgeable advice on places to visit and ensuring their stay is as comfortable as possible, the team is proactive and united, working together as a family unit to make Celtic the best it can be. As such, every member of the team takes great pride in the parks’ multi- award-winning status, which includes ‘Best Holiday Parks and Glamping’ in Wales and ‘Best Holiday Parks’ in Pembrokeshire. Celtic’s continued success has been unimpeded by the ongoing pandemic. Demand remained high throughout 2020, as people sought staycation options instead of risking going abroad. With meticulous cleaning and safety protocols in place, business continued as far as possible, as guests were able to visit, confident in the knowledge that their safety and comfort is the priority of the Celtic team. With staycations still a popular choice in 2021 as well, Celtic is working hard to ensure their parks are always evolving to maintain a high standard. With the launch of additional restaurants, holiday and rental properties, another venue in the ‘Celtic Wellbeing’ brand, and even an exciting ‘Tree House’ scheme, 2021 is seeing a great deal of growth for the resort.

[email protected] Website: www.celticholidayparks.com Few companies are capable of being quite so flexible as the team of Dutch Mirror Factory. They know that their customers each have a wealth of different needs and requirements and do their absolute best to meet and match every single one. The team has standard mirrors, available in both large and small quantities, as well as an entire department that focuses specifically on custom-made collections. This department has opened up the door to so many opportunities. The custom-made part of the business has only begun to increase over the last couple of years. Fortunately, due to Dutch Mirror Factory’s proactive part in the industry, it has the tools, the experience and the open mindset to not only anticipate, but to effectively react to and keep up with the changing nature of the market. One of the challenges that the company has faced more recently has been the difficulty in finding the perfect materials that form the heart of a Dutch Mirror Factory mirror. Packaging materials, cardboard and aluminium are all in high demand. Where possible, the team has built up a stockpile for use so that they can continue to provide their customers with the high standard of delivery that they have come to expect. When it comes to providing these sort of products, there’s none finer than Dutch Mirror Factory. Their work sets the standard by which the rest of the industry operates. It’s no surprise that the team continues to be in such high demand – a sure sign of their incredible success. Company: Dutch Mirror Factory Name: Jørgen van Doorn Email:
