Second generation family partnership with set ideas, internal conflict, and lack of business focus were all ingredients which had made this lodge park become a cash drain on the family members.
Setting up effective systems to monitor occupancy, staff costs, as well as customer feedback, helped the partners consolidate their views and begin to work as a team.
