HOST achieves one million room nights milestone
March 1, 2022

HOST has reached a major milestone, selling one million room nights across both the Hinkley and Sedgemoor Campuses.

 

Since opening in June 2018, our accommodation facilities for the workers on EDF Energy’s Hinkley Point C (HPC) build have welcomed over 19,000 guests on both of our campuses, which offer a combined bedroom capacity of 1,496 and provide a number of high-quality amenities including restaurants, bars, gyms, sports pitches, meeting rooms and event spaces.

 

Over the years our team have worked hard to ensure that our core values and behaviours of ambition, inclusivity, collaboration, a caring nature and outstanding service are embedded in all that we do. This dedication is reflected in the fact that we’ve been able to achieve this major milestone, alongside many other successes including achieving full occupancy throughout the pandemic.

 

The achievements are a testament to HOST and how we work to ensure the health and safety of our guests and team is a priority and how we collaborate with the local community and extensive local supply chain to bring the best of Somerset to the HPC Project.

 

Mark Flinton, Campus Operations Director, said: “Achieving this milestone is a source of immense pride for our team. Thank you to all our guests who have made this possible and a huge well-done to our hardworking team who continue to offer an outstanding level of service. We look forward to continuing to grow the brand and welcoming new and existing guests though our doors.”

At HOST, we have recently celebrated the 1-Year Anniversary of the HOST Test Centre Facility, which provides a convenient location for individuals to complete either their CITB (CSCS) Health, Safety & Environment tests or their NOCN (CPCS) modules. The Test Centre is located on the Hinkley Campus and is operated by HOST, in partnership with Bridgwater & Taunton College. Over the last year, the Test Centre has successfully facilitated thousands of tests for the construction teams across the whole HPC Project. Providing flexibility in testing sessions across the week, including evening testing sessions for the night worker teams. The Test Centre is operated on a day-to-day basis by HOST’s two Test Centre Invigilators, Anthony and Jasmine who are responsible for both the administrative tasks including booking the tests, invigilating the tests themselves and continuing to maintain the required standards in accordance with the CITB and NOCN exam boards. Jasmine says “It has been great to see how well, the Test Centre has progressed, especially as Anthony and I have been here since the beginning” with Anthony adding “Seeing the Test Centre develop and reach new high goals every day is extremely rewarding to us. It has been a pleasure to have been with the HOST Test Centre for the first year, I’m sure it will reach many more milestones in the next few years.” The strong relationship that exists between HOST and Bridgwater & Taunton College is essential in the successful running of the centre and includes frequent quality audits that always exceed expectations. Both Hannah and Ian, the Business Operations Manager and Contract Compliance Officer at Bridgwater & Taunton College respectively, have worked closely alongside the HOST Test Centre Team to support its ongoing success. As said in Ian’s words “Hannah and I have been actively involved with the Test Centre Project from its inception. We were present when the Centre was certified by CITB, the awarding body, and witnessed the first Test. The success of this Centre is very important to Bridgwater & Taunton College as the Test Centre is registered in our name. We have a very amicable relationship with HOST, and it has been a delight to work with their Test Centre Team”. HOST Test Centre will continue to operate into 2024, to provide the HPC workforce with their tests either for individuals or for groups. To make a booking, employees are requested to complete the online booking form on the HOST Website or drop in and book in advance with the Test Centre Team at Hinkley Campus.
