REPORT OF: HEAD OF SERVICE DELIVERY– 14/046
WARDS AFFECTED: ALL
SUBJECT: ANNUAL REVIEW OF SHEFFIELD INTERNATIONAL VENUES OPERATION OF SCARBOROUGH SPA, CLIFF LIFT AND WHITBY PAVILION
REASON REPORT REQUESTED: To allow the Council to Monitor the operation of Scarborough Spa and Cliff Lift and Whitby Pavilion by Sheffield International Venues (SIV) and to update members on activity at the Venues PURPOSE OF REPORT: To appraise the Committee of the performance of the partnership in the first full year of operation. RISK ISSUES: There are no identified risks relating to the monitoring report. The Scarborough Spa, Cliff Lift and Whitby Pavilion are now outsourced and SIV is independent of the Council. There is a risk that the SIV may not deliver the agreed Service Level Agreement requirements.
1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 This is a significant Partnership for the Council with SIV. The Council has
a Service Level Agreement with SIV part of which permits the Council to monitor their performance and for them to report on their activities and answer questions in relation to these.
1.2 In accordance with the requirements of the SLA a monitoring board involving Elected Members and Council officers was formed and has met with SIV frequently through the first twelve months of operation. The board consists of the following members and officers (from SBC and SIV)

Cllr Joe Plant - Chair of Resources Scrutiny Committee Cllr Penny Marsden – Portfolio Holder for Human Resources, Transport and ICT Cllr David Chance – Portfolio Holder for Tourism and Culture Hilary Jones – Deputy Chief Executive Andy Skelton – Director of Service Delivery Stuart Clark – Parking and Venues Manager Andrew Snelling – Deputy Chief Executive, SIV Sean Nolan – Director of Business Development, SIV Helen Broadbent – General Manager, SIV Dominic Stokes – General Manager SIV Events David Wagstaff – Group Food and Beverage Manager, SIV
1.3 The purpose of this report is to provide members information on the performance of SIV’s, give an update on activities and to flag up areas for future development.
1.4 Whilst this year’s report covers one full year of operation future reports will be brought into line with Financial Years. Therefore a further update will be provided in June to report on the financial year 2013/2014.
2. CORPORATE AIM AND COMMUNITY PLAN 2.1 The operation of the Scarborough Spa, Cliff lift and Whitby Pavilion
supports the Council’s corporate aim of ‘Building Prosperous Communities’ through its contribution to tourism, improving the image of the Borough and job creation.
3. BACKGROUND 3.1 The Scarborough Spa and Cliff Lift and Whitby Pavilion transferred from
the Council to SIV on 1 October 2012. 3.2 A Service Level Agreement (SLA) was drawn up between SBC and SIV
and fully details all the monitoring requirements and expectations that SBC has of SIV to deliver the service at the venues and to develop a programme of on-going improvement at the venues.
3.3 The Council makes a contractual payment to SIV each year, and
together with the activities and events provided at the venues, this underpins the operation of the venues. This report highlights the issues and challenges faced during the first full year of operation of the venues.
3.4 In addition to the contractual payment, SBC allocated £706,000 for key
improvements to the venues and this has included the Development of an Event / Café Bar in the Scarborough Spa. Full details of these improvements are detailed later in the report.

4.3 Improvements to Venue 4.3.1 The SLA allowed for a number of improvements to be made to the venue. 4.3.2 Significant improvements have been made during the first year of operation and these are detailed in Appendix 5. However, a brief summary of the major changes is given below. 4.3.3 The majority of agreed improvements have been undertaken with the highlight so far being the development of Farrers bar lounge. 4.3.4 Farrers, named after local landowners’ wife Thomasin Farrer who discovered the bubbling waters coming out of the cliffs, has proven to be both a huge asset and success to the venue. Trade since its opening in late May has been buoyant throughout the summer and has maintained a steady weekend trade through the winter months. 4.3.5 The light and airy bar has unrivalled views of the bay. In summer the doors are opened to create an additional outdoor dining area. It offers an extensive menu including breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner. Along with a broad selection of alcoholic beverages we serve a wide range of hot beverages which include Botham’s of Whitby Tea. Recent comment on Trip Advisor
“Took my family here and was pleasantly surprised. A spacious, clean, bright
place overlooking the sea, a great location. The menu is varied and caters for lite
bites or something more substantial. We just had drinks, although my daughter
was tempted by a fish finger sandwich which was fresh fish goujons, none of the
cheap supermarket stuff. It looked really nice and came with a salad, very
reasonably priced as well. The waiters and staff were friendly and it wasn't busy
so we were served straight away and the food came in good time. We'll definitely
go back, it's just what the south side needed down on the sea front.”
4.3.6 On event and show days the bar has become a destination for pre-show bar and dining. Targeting specific demographics, menus and packages are created through the database of pre-sold tickets to pre-sell menu deals, which include “Tea for a Tenner” and “Two meals including wine for a Twenty”.
4.4 Future Improvements Programme 4.4.1 The outstanding development works are the upgrades to the Ocean Room,
Promenade Lounge, Sun Court Lounge and Restaurant, including the essential refurbishment of toilet and washroom facilities to the Ocean Room and Promenade Lounge.
14/046
4.4.2 The main purpose of these works is to improve conferencing and event facilities to attract additional events to The Spa. It was not possible to make these improvements during the first year due to conflicts between the bookings that had already been made and the timetable for the works.
4.4.3 SIV are currently developing a programme of works for the 2014/2015
financial year with all works anticipated to be completed by the commencement of the following financial year.
4.5 Events and activities (Year 1) 4.5.1 The first year has seen a number of major shows and events at the venues. 4.5.2 The Summer Shows, Spa Orchestra and Last Laugh Comedy Club continued their run of shows at Scarborough Spa. In addition the Venue also hosted well known comedians such as Rhod Gilbert, Al Murray and Andy Parsons. Musical entertainment was provided by Toploader, Enter Shakiri, The Darkness, The Halle Orchestra and The Straits. 4.5.3 2013 also saw the Grand Hall transformed for 5 performances of Celebrities on Ice. The Moscow State and Vienna Festival Ballets also appeared at the Spa. 4.5.4 In addition to all of this there were a number of Festivals in 2013 including Coastival, National Student Drama Festival and Scarborough Jazz Festival. 4.5.5 In Whitby the Pavilion played host to Musicport, Bram Stoker Film Festival, Whitby Goth Weekend, Northern Ballet and The Halle Youth Orchestra. The Last Laugh Comedy Roadshow also visited the venue as did well known comedians Chris Ramsey and Jenny Éclair. 4.5.6 A list of ‘highlights’ of events is shown in Appendix 3. Weddings 4.5.7 In the year that is being reported Scarborough Spa and Whitby Pavilion hosted 16 weddings. 15 at Scarborough Spa and 1 at Whitby Pavilion. Whitby Cinema 4.5.9 The Cinema in Whitby continues to be a valuable facility in the venue 4.5.10 In 2013 blockbuster movies such as Life of Pi, The Great Gatsby, The Hangover Part III, Monsters University, Les Miserables and Despicable Me 2 were screened. 4.5.11 Usage figures for the last three years are shown below
14/046
1/10/2010 – 30/09/2011 8,402
1/10/2011 – 30/09/2012 7,250 1/10/2012 – 30/09/2013 10,433
The last twelve months show a significant increase on the previous years Conferences 4.5.12 There were well in excess of 100 conference days at the two venues in the period reported. Major conferences such as Rotary Club 1040, Rotary Club 1050 and the Catholic Women’s Conference were held at the venues this year.
4.6 Forward Programme of Events for Year 2 4.6.1 A number of events have already booked for 2014/15. 4.6.2 These include musical performances from Brian May and Kerry Ellis, Think Floyd, Showadywaddy and Big Country and Comedy from Andrew Lawrence, Ed Byrne and Chris Ramsey. 4.6.3 The Spa Orchestra and Summer Show programmes have also been agreed for 2014 Summer Season. A full list of confirmed bookings is given in Appendix 4. 4.7 Community and Business Engagement 4.7.1 SIV recognises the importance of working in partnership with a number
of organisations and groups in the local communities of Scarborough and Whitby. It is only in this way can we ensure the commercial, social and community objectives of SBC, SIV and the various stakeholders, are met.
4.7.2 Examples of organisations that we have engaged in the period Oct 2012 – Sept 2013 include;
• Discover Yorkshire Coast Conference Team
This is a significant partnership particularly with the SIV Events function. Work with the Bureau includes meeting the SBC team and supporting and providing comprehensive advice on the wider business tourism industry trends and initiatives.
These initiatives include such things as setting up an Ambassador scheme, reviewing the event bid process, and working together on proactive event procurement.
14/046
SIV Events have also provided advice on the Groupmax accommodation system as well as supporting and consulting on the issue of bureau commission charges to the local business community
SIV also worked with and provided funds for SIV and the Bureau to attend the C&IT Association Forum in Nov 2012
• Welcome to Yorkshire / Tourism Advisory Committee The General Manager - SIV Events is a member of the WtY Tourism Advisory Committee facilitated by the SBC Tourism manager
• Scarborough Open Air Theatre
SIV recognise the strength of having a comprehensive entertainment offer within the borough and the OAT is a considerable asset.
SIV have developed a strong relationship and worked closely with SBC to ensure that the OAT can continue to develop into a major player in the market as well as ensuring both the OAT and the Spa are complimentary in their offer rather than compete.
Areas that we have collaborated is on ticketing, joint collaborations (e.g. Happy Mondays / Hacienda after Show Party), complimentary programming throughout the summer and marketing
• Confotel The General Manager - SIV Events and Sales Manager - SIV Events are members of Confotel and are active in ensuring initiatives are beneficial to all members concerned
• Whitby Friends
SIV Senior management have engaged with the Friends at a number of levels and on a number of initiatives to drive the Whitby Pavilion forward.
• Whitby Amateur Dramatic Societies
This area of our business is significant for SIV as highlighted in the Events section of this report.
All the Am-Dram societies have been engaged with and receive regular communication. However this is an area that does require some more significant time investment from SIV to ensure this are of the business continues to develop significantly for the town, the borough, SIV and most importantly the groups themselves.
Other Groups that we are engaged with include:

� Scarborough Hospitality Association � Scarborough South Bay Traders Association � Create Arts Development Agency
4.8 Challenges faced 4.8.1 The two biggest challenges that have been faced in the first year of
operation are the seasonality of the Venues and the cost of contracted core staffing that transferred from The Borough Council.
4.8.2 Seasonality of venues
Attendances and income at the Venues is far more seasonal than we had anticipated. This is a bigger issue at Scarborough Spa where more than two thirds of annual income was achieved in the three busiest summer months. As a result of this seasonality we are working hard to reduce costs and increase income during the off season. However, our main focus will be on maximising income and profit during the busiest months of the Year.
4.8.3 Staffing adjustments The ‘annualised hours’ contracts that were transferred to us did not work due to the aforementioned seasonality of the Venues. After reviewing the business streams and the operation of the venue, it became clear that we had to make some changes to how we managed our payroll. There were two main areas that we felt needed to be addressed. After consultation with the relevant unions, we now have gone into consultation with the employee’s effected. We decided to withdraw the system of annualised hours which were currently in operation, this worked on the basis where employees were paid their contracted hours on a monthly basis, and then any additional hours were paid quarterly. We are like in the process of introducing a system where any additional hours worked over and above the employees contracted hours are paid in a much more timely fashion We need to operate two tiers of contracted hours; a higher rate of contracted hours is needed in the summer than the winter. Therefore we are currently negotiating with a number of employees to maintain their summer contracts but consider a lower contract in the winter months.
4.8.4 Budgetary constraints The first year of operation has been challenging financially and we have had to make a number of changes to the operation to reduce costs, increase income and improve profitability. A number of these changes were forecast
14/046
when we were awarded the Contract but there have been other issues, such as the cost of annualised hours, that we had not anticipated. As Councillors will be aware, the management fee that is received reduces from year to year as we grow the business at the Venues, becoming fixed from Year 3 of the Contract onwards. We are delivering fully the requirements of the Contract with SBC within the current budget and will continue to do so going forward. There are many other improvements that we would like to make to the operation of the Venues but many of these are not currently affordable. As and when profits improve then we have a ‘shopping list’ of improvements that we will make.
4.9 Business Plan
The Business Plan for the Contract Year April 2014 to March 2015 is currently being developed along with the supporting plans, targets, programmes and objectives. These will be agreed with SBC Members and Officers prior to the commencement of the Contract Year.
4.10 Other Changes
SIV Tickets
In December 2013 SIV launched SIV Tickets which is a platform that not only sells tickets for any event, it actively promotes concerts, shows and events to SIVs significant databases.
The Scarborough Spa and The Whitby Pavilion are obviously a crucial part of that offer and following on from the success of selling tickets for the OAT, by SIV Tickets predecessor the Arena Ticket Shop, we have continued that partnership.
SIV Tickets reaches a potential audience of over 180 000 SIV subscribers and is currently selling tickets for over 500 events We have approx. 300k visitors to the SIV websites each month and a significant social media presence We also have physical ticketing outlets in Sheffield City Centre & the Motorpoint Arena, Sheffield, and of course you can buy tickets for any SIV Tickets event at the Scarborough Spa and the Whitby Pavilion. More recently we have an outlet in the Meadowhall Shopping Centre which has an estimated footfall of 25m visitors per year.
Examples of Clients and Events include Leeds Festival, World Snooker Championship, Doncaster Racecourse, Harewood House, Download Festival, Donnington, BBC Sports Personality of the Year and events at Castle Howard.
14/046
The intention is to utilise this platform more widely across the Yorkshire region to create a Coastal Borough one stop shop to encourage more visitors and tourism.
SIV Christmas Parties
In 2013 SIV developed the SIV Christmas Parties brand. This saw over 2100 people over 3 nights attend The Christmas Masquerade Ball in its debut year. We will be extending to 5 nights next year.
This concept developed a number of sales, marketing and operational processes that we hope to use at both Scarborough and Whitby to develop the currently successful Christmas and New Year product in those venues
