Ufford Park

Prominent has long enjoyed a fantastic relationship with the team at Ufford Park. Supporting the Aldous family for seven years of their ownership, we assisted new owners the Bansal family when the reins were handed over in 2022.

Ufford Park case study

Prominent provided PR support, advertising and award writing services throughout managing director Tarnia Robertson’s leadership until the June takeover.

Our work celebrated the changes that drove new customers to the venue and highlighted the significant developments made under Tarnia’s reign.

This included the phenomenal restoration of the hotel’s 90 bedrooms and the on-site Park Bar and Restaurant. We also covered the opening of the Congo Rapids: Lost World adventure golf course in 2016, which has since cemented itself as a Suffolk family favourite.

More recent work included the launch of the hotel’s new salon, run by national award-winning stylist Becky Marion.

Extensive media coverage was secured thanks to our support.

As part of our running of the accounts, we created bespoke videos showing off why Ufford Park is the perfect location for someone’s special day.
