A new manager has been appointed at a theme park. Alex Magni has taken over the role at Paradise Park in Newhaven from Phil Parris who has retired after working at the site for 22 years. Alex began his career sailing the world aboard cruise liners in the role of cruise director.
His love for hospitality encouraged him to pursue work in luxury hotels worldwide before settling with his family in the UK. He subsequently successfully managed hotels and restaurants for Best Western and Whitbread.

“I am actively seeking customer input to better understand their needs, to shape future products and services,” he said. He also aims to make people more aware of what is on offer at different times of the year and to attract school groups to make use of the Planet Earth Museum. He wants to see a larger coffee pod in the play area with increased food options and a large sitting area.
Sarah Mead, director of Tates of Sussex which owns Paradise Park, said it was a delight to have Alex on board. “We are very pleased to have Alex as part of the team,” she said. “He joins us with exceptional enthusiasm and a proven track record in the hospitality industry.
