National Business Awards 08


An audience of over 1,200 were present to see the winners of The National Business Awards 2008 announced. Finalists were joined by judges (that's me!), sponsors, numerous business leaders and academics alongside HRH the Earl of Wessex and Peter Mandelson, current Secretary of State for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform.

Lord Mandelson, Gordon Brown's secret weapon, claimed in his speech that he will listen to, and reply to, all points of view that are sent to him.

I have written...

I am waiting for a reply...

Hmm, more chance of getting a reply from a certain Cornish hotel manager than from Mandy....In fact, even more chance of Admiral Lord Nelson recovering the use of his arm!

The Cornish hotel manager has now been sent two emails but still no reply. Maybe their broadband is down at the moment (see the earlier blog & comments)!

Perhaps, unwittingly we have discovered a secret - Mandy IS the hotel manager!
In all seriousness, you are too much of a gentleman. You are allowing the hotel extra credit in believing that they care as much as you, or even at all. The evidence states the contrary.
My advice, if you still insist on giving them a further chance to remedy, would be to conduct a directors search and see who owns the hotel. If appropriate, write to tham with the catalogue of events and cc the correspondence, including why you've had to go ti such meaures as contacting the owners/shareholders.
The manager seems to believe that you'll go away as he/she doesn't see it a a great enough emount of money to take uo much more of your time, i.e. he/she fails to recognise that there still
exist people of principle.
They are also failing to recongise the even itself, i.e. the terrible jolt/fright you experienced that morning.
Otherwise, or in the event of no replies from the owners, I strongly advise you to issue the final demand to be refunded, and if they don't reply to this, issue proceedings against them in the small claims court.
Good luck, and please let us know if Mandy is the manager...
