WWT National Wetland Centre Wales is a visitor attraction with style!

WWT National Wetland Centre Wales won the ‘Visitor Attraction with Style’ award at the 2008 Style Awards on the 3 July 2008.  The centre, represented by Marketing Manager, Ruth O’Malley, collected its award from Ruth Maddoc of ‘Hi De Hi’ fame and Laurence Winmill of category sponsors Swansea Life Magazine at the glamerous and star studded event held at Aspers Casino in Swansea.

The centre faced stiff competion from other popular attractions across South West Wales including Mumbles Pier and Oakwood, but members of the public who voted ensured that WWT National Wetland Centre Wales took the trophy back to Llanelli.

Marketing Manager, Ruth O’Malley, said: “We are absolutely delighted that we have won this award, and the fact that members of the public voted for us to win makes it all the more special.  The centre works hard to promote the conservation work of WWT whilst offering a fun and educational experience for all ages.”

“We would not have won the award without the hard work and support of staff members as well as our dedicated team of volunteers. We also can’t forget that the members and visitors that we have at the centre, really make the place special.  It wouldn’t be the same without them.  I am very proud of what the Centre has achieved.”
