Kayla Smith has put the spotlight firmly on Deniliquin tourism, winning the ‘BIG4 Staff Member of the Year’ at the BIG4 Holiday Parks Annual Awards on the Gold Coast.
One of 13 awards presented to people and parks within the BIG4 family, taking out the highest individual honour Australia-wide no mean feat.
Mrs Smith is a valued member of the BIG4 Deniliquin team, starting with the company 10 years ago.
Going above and beyond for the holiday park and its guests, this particular award is a fitting recognition for her work.
The gala awards ceremony took place at Movie World following a three-day conference entitled ‘Delivering Excellence Together: THE BIG4 Way’.
It also marked the 45th anniversary of BIG4 Holiday Parks, and honoured the brand's community, heritage, and multi-generational talent.
"It was fantastic to celebrate our BIG4 parks and staff who have made an outstanding impact over the past year, especially as we lead up to almost 50 years of operating,“ BIG4 Holiday Parks CEO Sean Jenner.
“These awards celebrate the dedication of the BIG4 network and serve as a heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributes to making our parks truly special.
“Boasting more than 260 parks Australia wide, BIG4 Holiday Parks offers unique accommodation and experiences to suit every traveller’s needs.
“From humble beginnings, the brand was founded by four families in Ballarat (Victoria), BIG4 Holiday Parks has enjoyed significant growth in its network, and prides itself in delivering excellence in guest experiences across all parks.”
