- Following a nationwide search, Butlin’s is proud to appoint its first ever family of Funbassadors
- The popular UK holiday resort ran a competition earlier this year, which offered families across the country the opportunity to win THREE free holidays, in addition to a one-off cash prize of £1,000
- The competition came off the back of research which revealed that the average child aged 6-13 wants DOUBLE the amount of quality time with their parents than they’re getting
Butlin’s, the home of entertainment, is proud to appoint the Delaney family from East Sussex as its first ever official ‘Funbassadors’.
The brand received over fifteen thousand applications following a nationwide competition earlier this year that called out for the UK’s most fun-loving family to step forward. To be in with a chance of winning, families were asked to participate in a short video and interview process, which led to one lucky Eastbourne-based family being crowned the worthy winners.
A dream job packed with perks, including three all-expenses-paid holidays to the brand’s resorts in Skegness, Minehead and Bognor Regis, as well as a cash prize of £1,000, the Delaney family (Sarah (31), Nathan (32), Declan (14) and Amelia (8)) will take on everything the famous resorts have to offer before sharing their reviews with the Butlin’s bosses.
Butlin’s identified the need for the Funbassadors role following shocking new research that revealed that the average child aged 6-13 wanted to double the amount of quality time they spend with their parents.
The study also shed light on the activities children would love to do more of with their families, with going swimming, going on theme park rides, and going to watch a live show taking the top three spots – all things that are included in the price of a Butlin’s break.
The Delaney family’s job is to make sure the resorts deliver the perfect balance of entertainment to maximise the family fun, feeding back to bosses to help them maintain the full-on excitement, entertainment factor and help inform new show formats and future planning. They’ll experience all the thrills and more during their new post, including front row seats to see some of Butlin’s’ most anticipated talent in action including Diversity, Fleur East and Stephen Mulhern.
When asked how they felt about winning the competition and becoming Butlin’s first ever Funbassadors, Sarah Delaney said: “We’re super excited! As a family, we love Butlin’s and we have been visiting the resorts for years. Being appointed as the brand’s Funbassadors is a dream come true and will give us chance to try out all the new activities that we haven’t done before. We can’t wait to get started!”
Nathan Delaney commented: “My favourite thing about Butlin’s is that it really is a multi-generational tradition in our families. My parents used to take me on holiday there too, so it’s a place that holds a lot of special memories. I really enjoy reliving some of my fondest childhood memories at Butlin’s and now I get to share these with my own children too as their first Funbassadors!”
Commenting on the recent addition to the team, Jeremy Pardey, Resort Director at Butlin’s Bognor Regis, said: “We are delighted to announce the Delaney family as our new Funbassadors and can’t wait to have them on resort in Bognor Regis.
“Butlin’s prides itself on being the home of entertainment with fun-filled value breaks that are perfect for the whole family. With so much for the Funbassadors to experience on resort, their feedback and suggestions will help ensure guaranteed family fun for years to come!”
