Heading back to day 2 of SCALE UK 2024. Had a fantastic day yesterday with so many take homes and met some brilliant people in the STR industry. Highlights:

# Reassured by Sally Henry of that experience over the past 18 months is reflective of the whole sector

# AI is exciting and used effectively and with focus is going to be a game changer for the industry. Jodi Odlin can even run a Cotswolds business from Australia using it and Dale Smith of provided great insight into harnessing AI for increasing customer / homeowner loyalty and value growth

# More regulation is coming but it’s a good thing if introduced with best practice in mind. The amazing Alistair Handyside MBE of and Fiona Campbell of ASSC have got all our backs and must be thanked unreservedly for all their hard work and dedication engaging with government on all our behalves.

Looking forward to learning more today.

Feeling proud of myself for completing 13.1 miles this morning in the Royal Parks Half Marathon.
Even more proud to be supporting such an amazing charity, Dans Fund For Burns

Yesterday was the 22nd anniversary of the Bali bombings where 202 people lost their lives. My friend Polly Brooks was one of the survivors but she lost so many friends in the tragedy, including her husband Dan in whose name she set up this incredible charity. To support Polly in all the work she does to support burns victims and their families please sponsor me:

I am now on countdown to the Royal Parks Half Marathon this Sunday. Whilst it’s not as epic an endeavour as some of you have achieved, none the less, getting running again has been challenging for me!

It’s less about the running though and what I am running for. Dan’s Fund for Burns was set up by my friend Polly who is one of the survivors of the Bali Bomb in 2002. She lost her husband Dan along with so many friends and was the only survivor in her party of 10. Whilst she was one of the lucky ones, she did suffer horrific burns which is why she chose to set up Dan’s Fund for Burns to help support burns victims and their families.

If you have a few spare pennies I would be grateful for your support and so would Polly. Here is my just giving page: https://www.justgiving.com/page/amanda-pugh-1723021908146

Wellies & Windbreaks: a handpicked collection of the finest family holiday homes in West Wittering and the surrounding area

I must have one of the best offices in the world! West Wittering beach is where I conduct much of my business whilst strolling through the dunes with my dog Jessie. I am lucky enough to spend much of my time down in the Wittering and am privileged to manage some of the finest holiday properties in the areas.

I set up Wellies & Windbreaks just before my third child, Sam started school. I had returned to office-based work in London after both Ella and Charlie, but felt that if I was to combine parenthood with employment then I needed to find something that I could do where I dictated my own hours. Finding a job that genuinely permits you to do everything you need / want to do for your family as well as earning money and enjoying genuine work satisfaction really is the holy grail. I count myself as one of the lucky ones to have been able to find a balance that works.

Managing my father-in-law’s holiday home in East Wittering gave me a platform to set up my own holiday rentals business. I figured if I could do it for him then why not offer my services to others. When two prospects became firm clients, I set up my website. Back in April 2015 I started with these three properties. Almost three years on and I now have 16 properties on the books and the business continues to grow, primarily by word of mouth.

I have learned a lot along the way and still have so much further to go. Even in three years the holiday rental industry in the UK has undergone significant change. Airbnb has transformed the market place and instant online booking has changed the way holiday makers choose their holiday accommodation. Competing in an ‘instant book’ marketplace is not without its challenges, but I firmly believe that there are still people out there who actually like to talk to human beings before committing to something. Offering a personal approach to both home owners and holidaymakers alike is the cornerstone of my business. I know each and every one of my properties inside out, I work with some of the best cleaners in the area and I know and love this part of the world. I love being able to offer advice to holiday makers on what to do and where to go in the local area. Nothing beats a “Beach Body Buster” at Billys on the Beach.
