Church Minshull’s Aqueduct Marina has received further industry recognition by retaining its five gold anchor marina accreditation.
The award-winning Inland Marina of the Year was honoured following the global marina assessment conducted by The Yacht Harbour Association (TYHA).
Staff at the Shropshire Union Canal based family marina are celebrating the accolade.
Robert Parton CMM, Managing Director of Church Minshull Aqueduct Marina, said: “We are all so proud that Church Minshull Aqueduct Marina has again achieved the five gold anchor accreditation.
“This industry acknowledgment is great proof of the teamwork that goes into keeping the high standards of our marina to provide the best experience for our boat owners and users.
“The accreditation was achieved through a site assessment of specific items across several evaluation categories: Ambience, Planning, Policies & Procedures, Customer Service, Environmental and both on and off-water facilities and infrastructure.
“A berth holder survey is also conducted as part of the process and this is the most rewarding feedback for us, to know that our customers are happy with the marina and services they receive.”
Once the Gold Anchor assessor has completed an evaluation and report, an accreditation recommendation is put to either TYHA or MIA Gold Anchor Standards Panels for approval.
Mystery shopper checks are used during the three-year validity period to ensure the accreditation remains valid as well as providing valuable additional information to the marina.
