Shane Carter, Center Parcs Spa Manager

Shane Carter is Spa Manager at Center Parcs in Longford.

Hi, Ask me a question...

How did you go about getting your current job?

I’ve been with Center Parcs for 19 years, starting out as a lifeguard. From day one, I loved the fast-paced environment, the focus on safety and service, and being part of a strong team. I gradually progressed through various roles, eventually moving into outdoor activity management. It was in this role that I discovered a real passion for business management — leading teams, improving operations, and driving performance. At the same time, my fiancée (now wife) was working in the Spa. Listening to her talk about the Spa business sparked a growing interest in that side of the operation. When a position became available in Aqua Sana, I applied — and was successful.

I spent two years as Operations Manager within Aqua Sana Forest Spa, further developing my leadership skills and gaining a deeper understanding of the guest journey, commercial targets, and team development within a premium environment, whilst immersing myself in the fantastic Spa & Wellness Industry. When the General Manager position became available for the first time as part of a business restructure, I saw it as a natural next step. I applied and was delighted to be offered the role. It’s been a hugely rewarding journey — one that’s given me both personal and professional growth, all within a business I’ve been proud to be part of for nearly two decades.
