Dear Team

With a hint of spring in the air and a Government ‘roadmap out of lockdown’ announced there feels to have been a noticeable lift in morale. Any post-Christmas, January blues, are thankfully fading into the abyss and HOST could not be more excited for the journey ahead.  

The business hit the ground running after the winter break and first quarter results have been impressive providing us with a solid foundation to build on for what is set to be a promising 2021.

With occupancy levels thriving and some significant milestones ahead of us it is a busy time as we prepare to reopen our guest facilities. We have some fantastic technology launching to enable guests to book their leisure activities seamlessly via a bespoke HOST booking app.

COVID-19 resilience is still front and centre of our operations and measures are continually evolving in line with current guidelines, the most significant being the introduction of an intensive testing program across the project with over 10,000 tests being administered since January. The commitment to our COVID secure status is just as prevalent today as it has ever been. We’ve also opened a number of meeting rooms across our campuses to provide COVID safe spaces for local businesses, helping them to continue their work.

This fantastic start to the year would not have been possible without the hard work and commitment of the team so I would like to take the opportunity to thank each of you for your continued efforts in delivering the success of the campuses.

Yours sincerely

Tim Jones, CEO
