We are delighted to share feedback we received about the dining service from our guests aboard our Saphos charter 🚂
It is a delight to know that the classic, refined dining experiences reminiscent of a bygone era are not only remembered but thoroughly appreciated by our knowledgeable guests. Thank you for choosing our train experience.⭐
Continuing the theme of service, we point the spotlight on our GenZ team whose efforts significantly enhanced our Saphos steam train experience last week. Comprising young individuals aged 18-21, the team demonstrated a commendable dedication to service excellence, untainted by the often mediocre standards commonly seen today.
These young professionals internalised the principles of outstanding customer experience, driven by a sincere empathy for the customer. Thank you to Olivia Johnson, Ben Screeton, Millie Smith, York College, York UK.
The question is: Has anyone else noticed this shift in CX delivered by GenZ?
We were thrilled to welcome our special guest Titti Schultz on our Saphos Train Charter last week! Titti is an esteemed radio presenter, compere, and moderator. Her presence made our journey truly unforgettable.
It was a pleasure to have her join us for this special tour, creating unforgettable memories along the way. A huge thank you to Titti Schultz for bringing such unique and wonderful energy to our adventure. 🚂🛤️
This week, we chartered our Saphos Steam Train, a once-in-a-lifetime journey that beautifully encapsulated the grandeur of vintage rail travel. The nostalgic allure of the steam locomotive, the opulence of the exquisitely appointed carriages, and the delectable cuisine were all remarkable. However, it was the exceptional service that truly stood out.
This travel experience perfectly aligns with Veenus' commitment to outstanding customer service, reaffirming our belief that traditional service standards are not just worth remembering but reviving. 🚂

We're thrilled to have had Titti Schultz on board for this luxurious Steam Train Journey! 🚂
It was an unforgettable experience. 🤩
All on board!!

Let's stir the debate pot: Tipping at buffets >>
👆On one hand, some argue it's a gesture of appreciation for the staff's effort in maintaining the buffet.
🔁On the flip side, others contend that since it's self-service, tipping might not be necessary.

Traveling sustainably? Here are some tips to minimize plastic waste on your tours:

Isn’t it time to get rid of the old, bulky binders that clutter up hotel bedrooms? 🤔

During National Coach Week, let's celebrate the unsung sustainability superheroes of our roads – coaches and their drivers!
They're the backbone of mass transportation, efficiently carrying passengers, reducing congestion, and cutting down carbon emissions. Coaches educate passengers on eco-friendly practices and drive innovation with green technologies.
They're not just vehicles; they're community hubs fostering social connections and promoting sustainable urban development. Let's recognize their vital role and support efforts to enhance public transportation for a greener future.
Let's 'air' out the past with a 250-year-old story that will leave you gasping for more. Investigate Dr. Joseph Priestley's breathtaking discovery of oxygen at Bowood House & Gardens, in their anniversary 'A New Pure Air' exhibit. 🍃

Veenus has long upheld two key principles: building a business based on relationships and innovative evolution of our team’s thinking. We were excited to welcome Keyur Nakum back for a day. 🤗
Starting as a 22-year-old newcomer in 2012, Keyur spent the next decade expanding his expertise to eventually adeptly manage significant parts of the Veenus group. During his visit to our office, he shared many insightful reflections to the newer members of our team and we’ve picked our top three:
✔ How you communicate will impact your relationships and outcomes – ensure that you constantly evolve how you communicate to people.
✔ Preparation cannot be underestimated – be ready for any scenario no matter how insignificant.
✔ Always question ‘why’. Don’t take anything at face value…be sure to challenge and question.
Keyur paid tribute to his committed colleagues at Veenus and the directors who gave him the exposure and confidence, which made him excel from the get-go in his next company.
Keyur’s comments reinforced our commitment to relationships and progressive thinking. A true testament that our team embrace the Veenus core values and better still carry them forward in careers beyond our company. 💯
