You will be able to make a major strategic contribution to the company and add focus and experience to help this company establish itself as a major player, through its plan to grow through acquisition.

The skills/experience we are looking for are:
1) Overseeing a multi-site sales led operation
2) Knowledge of short break holiday market

4) Communication/fundraising with property investors

It will be beneficial if the Non-Executive Director wishes to become a shareholder in the Company to align the incoming NED’s interest with that of the existing Directors who are all shareholders.

1. The Market:
• There are some 3,400 holiday resorts and camps in the UK, which generates £200m plus in annual tourist revenue. Some 80% of the market is dominated by the smaller players, leaving around 600 larger holiday resorts.
• Short-breaks now account for more than half of all holiday visits in the UK, and that the market for these is increasing steadily.
• The lack of supply of resorts and the success of the business model enables resorts to be sold at a considerable premium to their development asset value. Much of the growth of the market, therefore, is coming from increased sophistication, niche marketing and expanding the number of weeks that are filled, rather than a growth in the number or size of resorts.

2. The Business Concept:
• The company plans to build a network of high quality ‘buy to let’ holiday lodge parks.
• Our Client has assembled a team of experienced professionals who have made a strategic decision to create a group serving a niche market and providing high returns for investors.
• Our client is currently exploring various opportunities to acquire holiday and lodge parks throughout the South West of England.
• Three specific acquisition opportunities are currently being developed.
• Our client has created a blue print and design for building luxury and affordable lodges, which would be ideal for investment purposes.

3. Non-Exec Director Requirements:
• A Non-Executive Director is required as follows:
- Oversight into multi-site sales operation
- Communicating to short break holiday consumer
- Marketing / fundraising to property investors / syndicates.
• We are looking for a commercially / marketing minded NED with a proven track record probably at a Blue Chip company & prepared to be “hands-on” when required & ideally who has worked at top level ideally in the leisure/property sectors.
• It will be beneficial if the Non-Executive Director wishes to become a shareholder in the Company to align the incoming NED’s interest with that of the existing Directors who are all shareholders.
