Holiday park group Bridge Leisure has completed a project to add electric car charging points at eight holiday parks across the UK. The company, which owns parks and provides professional management and consultancy for the industry, teamed up with Lincolnshire-based electrical distribution systems specialist Caravan Park Electrical to install the charging points in time for the summer season. Parks that benefited from the development are Trevella Park, Seaview Holiday Village and Hengar Manor in Cornwall; Hedley Wood in Devon; Ashbourne Heights in the Peak District; Sand le Mere on the Yorkshire coast; Turnberry Park in Ayrshire and Silver Sands in Moray. Simon Williams, Bridge Leisure commercial director says: “The future of driving is electric, so having our own charging points will help us provide a better holiday experience of our electric-car driving customers. “We are already seeing high use of the charging points, particularly at our Peak District and Cornwall parks, so there is clearly demand for this kind of facility.”

Growth Gains At Trevella

St Austell and Newquay MP Steve Double praised Trevella Park for its continued growth.

Trevella Park in Newquay has been praised for its contribution to the local economy, following its year on year growth.

In the last five years the park has doubled its number of permanent team members to 20 and brought in extra 35 seasonal employees to help cater for a big increase in holiday bookings.

St Austell and Newquay MP Steve Double recently visited the park and was shown the latest accommodation development, which will add more than 30 luxury caravans to the site and bring new holidaymakers throughout the year.

Steve Double commented: “With tourism such an incredibly important part of the economy here in Mid-Cornwall, I will always support hard-working local holiday parks who invest so much into the area, which in turn encourages more people to visit and spend their money across the constituency.”

Rob Lomas, General Manager for Trevella Park added: “We are delighted to receive the support of our local MP. The park has seen tremendous growth over the past five years and this increase in holidaymakers and holiday home owners is greatly beneficial for all sorts of local businesses.”

Holiday park specialist Bridge Leisure has recently completed a management buyout with support from private equity firm Phoenix Equity Partners.

The agreement means that the existing Bridge Leisure management team, led by CEO Andrew Howe, will continue to run the company. Phoenix will support the growth of Bridge Leisure through further developing its four existing parks and providing capital for new acquisitions.

Andrew Howe, CEO of Bridge Leisure, said: “Our plan is to buy new parks. We have the funding, team and know-how to grow in 2015 and beyond and we welcome contact from park owners interested in selling their business.

“We are very pleased that Phoenix will be supporting Bridge Leisure as we look to further expand the business.”

Headquartered in Milton Keynes, Bridge Leisure was founded in 2008 as a holiday park consultancy and management business initially focused on operating leisure parks for third parties. In 2010, the team expanded into the operation of owned parks with the acquisitions of Trevella Park in Cornwall and Sand Le Mere Holiday Village on the Yorkshire coast, followed by Turnberry, in Ayrshire, at the end of 2012. Strengthening its portfolio, Bridge Leisure is simultaneously acquiring Silver Sands Holiday Park, located close to Inverness on the east coast of Scotland.
