Lincolnshire business is set to expand after funding from Yorkshire Bank confirmed

Owners of 14 caravan parks along the English East Coast, Blue Anchor Leisure, have received support from Yorkshire Bank to expand two of their parks.

The developments include a 140 pitch-site extension to the Golden Palm Resort in Chapel St. Leonards and 150 lodges at the Woodwards Lodges and Lakes park near Doncaster.

The strategy, in order to maintain such high quality of the parks, has always been to reinvest profits made back into the business in order to continue to improve the facilities and the atmosphere for each of the parks’ visitors, whilst making sure all of Blue Anchor’s clients’ needs are met.

Managing director, Peter Holmes, knows the importance of keeping to high standards. He said: “Creating the right environment for families to come back year after year is a challenge, so it’s important to ensure we listen to our customers and provide them with what they are looking for.”

Holmes stated that the support from Yorkshire Bank over the past 20 years has allowed the parks to take advantage of growth opportunities that help to attract new customers which, in turn, allows for further expansion.

“We were able to benefit from the recession as more people decided to stay in the UK for their holidays, but we have retained a large part of those customers due to the high quality and variety of facilities we are able to offer,” Hlmes continued.

“As well as our own investment, the continued support from Yorkshire Bank has allowed us to take advantage of growth opportunities such as Holmes Mere, which is allowing us to attract new customers.”
