About Nic Allen

My family have been in the holiday Park industry for over 60 years. It’s a family business throughout with this being my 20th year working for the company and the last 10 years as being Managing Director. The last 5 years have seen a massive growth of the business where we have gone from the small family company of 4 parks, with a portfolio of 14 parks with another 6 parks that we run and operate on a daily basis. The company now employs 120 staff and we still try our hardest to be a family company at heart, however as we have grown, so have the issues of keeping it family. After studying Hospitality at Bournemouth University I had finished my degree and was on a gap year when the phone call came from home to say it was time to return and get my hands dirty in the family company.
