September 29, 2015A Sweet Surprise With The Cresta Court Hotel

At Austin’s ices, we firmly believe that when it comes to spreading happiness and joy, nothing works quite as well as ice-cream. That’s why, when the lovely people at the Cresta Court Hotel got in touch and told us what they had planned, we knew we’d be perfect for the job!
Altrincham’s Cresta Court is part of the famous Best Western family of hotels, and is a popular choice for business trips and conferences. In fact, the hotel counts several big brand names amongst its most frequent clients, including Dulux, JCB and Capify. Recently, Cresta Court decided to show some appreciation to these companies for their repeated custom and loyalty.
And that’s where we came in!
The hotel hired one of our ice-cream vans to help them carry out their generous thankyou mission. Together with one of the hotel managers, we travelled around Greater Manchester to various offices, handing out delicious ice-creams and other goodies to those in need of some cool, sweet refreshment. We decorated the van with the Best Western and Cresta Court logos, so that everyone knew exactly who to thank for their pleasant surprise. In total, we visited 11 different locations and served around 500 people. Some of the employees even had photos taken on the van, giving them a fun souvenir from the day. After the last visit was complete, we went back to Cresta Court and treated the hotel staff, too.
This was our first job for the Cresta Court Hotel, and we’d love to work with them again in the future. We truly admired them for showing gratitude to their clients, but what really won us over was that they didn’t forget to reward their own employees’ hard work as well. It was a classy move, and a smart one too, since we all know that nothing boosts morale in the workplace faster than a nice helping of Mr Whippy!
