Blue Peris

What a team 👌We have not posted of late, as on 31st October Blue Peris closed for good 😢. Its been a few months of mixed emotions and sadness 😢. We are all still shocked and cannot really take it all in. This photo was taken on the last day and we needed to say bye with the smiling faces all our customers have become accustomed to over the years. 👏💯 Blue Peris has been blessed with many awesome staff over the years and its these staff that made the centre what is was. Blue Peris only employed staff who were committed to the cause of outdoor learning and who totally valued what Blue Peris was all about. We thank all these ace staff over the years and cannot really express out gratitude enough for what you contributed. There are a group of staff who have given so much over the last 10 years and who have gone above and beyond. Why ?? because it results in a unique and amazing opportunity for the young people that visted the centre.

Its not just school pupils, we work with other great organisations, one being Crosby Management Training a leading apprentice training company covering a range of industries. 9 wonderful years of working together this year, along the way, extending their customer beliefs in what they can achieve combined with skill development towards their various apprentice levels and having lots of good fun along the way. Thanks to the Crosby support staff who have made these courses so successful. Its been a pleasure working with you.
