Marriott Hotel & Country Club, Worsley

The deluxe Worsley Park Marriott Hotel, home to an 18-hole, PGA championship golf course, is always looking for opportunities to innovate in order to retain its loyal clientele and attract new customers.

On a speculative visit, James Robertshaw suggested installing two 5m x 5m P-Series Parasols in the courtyard area to shield clients from summer sunshine and winter rain, and ultimately to open up the area all year long. The Marriott jumped at the opportunity. The parasols now offer year round comfort to almost two-thirds of the courtyard, with integral heat and lighting, adding to the area’s ambience and complementing the hotel’s character.

To enable the venue to continue trading, the working area is cordoned off to accommodate health and safety requirements. Using ground insertion sleeves to install the umbrella and hide electrical cables, whilst maximising cover space and preventing any potential trip hazard. James Robertshaw completed all necessary ground works for the client. Both umbrella systems are installed and erected, heaters and LED lighting are tested and demonstrated to the client.

The Marriott had already looked at how they might use the area more effectively through the seasons, so the timing was perfect. Their loyal customers are particularly happy with more occasions to enjoy the hotel’s stunning outdoor setting in the glorious sunshine!
