Solar-powered manufacturer joins forces with lodge park for sales expo

ONE of the fastest growing manufacturers in the UK holiday industry has joined forces with a luxury lodge park to promote “a trade show with a difference” this April.

Based out of a solar-powered factory and headquarters in Yorkshire, Beverley Leisure Homes will hold the exclusive event at Maes Mynan Park, in Afonwen near Caerwys, next month.

Aimed at park operators and owners across North Wales and beyond, the free two day-programme begins on Thursday April 11 and will include lodge and location tours, guidance and advice and sessions on finance, energy saving, benefits of Artificial Intelligence (AI), sales and marketing, and sustainability, followed by a networking breakfast on the Friday morning.

There will also be guest speakers, including Park Development chief executive Miles Dewhurst – a consultant with up to 30 years’ experience – who will discuss fractional ownership and Stay Grounded eco-friendly siting solutions, and E-Motion director John Woodcock, with a talk on their ePitch energy-saving system.

Beverley Leisure Homes was founded by CEO David Hall just seven years ago; now employing more than 30 staff, a period of expansion post-pandemic has seen them emerge as one of the leading leisure home manufacturers in the country.

“The trade show will give us a platform to showcase our lodges at one of the premier sites in Wales and the North West, and demonstrate the value we add as a growing family business which really cares for its customers, giving them a high-quality end to end experience,” said David.

“We are delighted to be working in partnership with Maes Mynan – which already has two of our Norwood holiday homes in prime locations onsite – and like them we are all about the customer, providing a flexible, reactive service with a personal touch.

“We are hoping to attract other park owners who would like to explore our brand and what we represent as an independent company looking to forge long-lasting partnerships and support others given the challenges the industry has faced in recent times.”

He added: “We think outside the box, are passionate and creative and like to drive innovation with our flexible design process so we can meet the requirements of any customer while maintaining our focus on people and place.

“We know Maes Mynan has a vision which reinforces that – it’s going to be a fantastic event, and we look forward to seeing you there.”

One of the Acorn Leisure portfolio of sites in Flintshire, Maes Mynan is situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The first phase of the development was formally opened by Lord Dafydd Elis-Thomas in 2019.

Directors Peter and Louise Barlow have transformed the stunning site following significant investment and are pleased to be hosting the two-day expo next month.

“Working with Beverley Leisure Homes has been a pleasure as they are an independent company which is creative and adapts to shifts in the market,” said Louise.

“As a park we need total trust and belief in the manufacturer to make sure our customers are happy, and with them we have that assurance.

“We wanted to share our positive experience of working together and help the company build a relationship with other parks locally and beyond, which is why we are happy to be hosting this trade show.”

Peter added: “From our first contact with Beverley Leisure Homes they have shown true understanding of the current issues facing parks and the leisure industry in these difficult economic times. With the line-up of guest presenters who will be appearing and the insight they bring to the market, this will be a well-timed show that adds a lot of value for customers and demonstrates now more than ever it’s about working together, not apart.”

Connexin becomes Hull Kingston Rovers’ new headline sponsor

Hull Kingston Rovers (KR) Rugby Club and Hull based Internet and Smart City service provider Connexin have announced a new multi-season sponsorship deal.     

The partnership, which sees Connexin become the club’s headline sponsor,  will see both organisations come together with the goal of increasing engagement with communities through supporting initiatives across the City.               

Connexin’s sponsorship of Hull KR follows on from the provider’s recent announcement that it is rolling out a new Full-Fibre network across Hull and East Riding, which aims to provide the region with a more competitive broadband marketplace and improve services. The partnership is driven by Connexin’s promise to invest locally and bring meaningful benefits to the region and its people.   

The deal also comes as Hull KR approaches its 140th anniversary, which the rugby club has celebrated through the launch of a new club crest.   

 

Paul Lakin, Chief Executive at Hull KR, said: “Hull KR is a club that is proud to have been a part of the city and its communities for nearly 140 years.  As we get ready to celebrate this milestone, we feel as strongly as ever that we must do all that we can to give back, not just to our fans but the area as a whole, via some community-based projects delivered in conjunction with Connexin over a period of time. 

“Through partnering with Connexin, both organisations will be able to harness our passion for Hull to drive positive development in the region and for its people through sport, while also pushing the club forward to achieve even more success.”

 

Furqan Alamgir, Co-Founder and CEO of Connexin, said: “As an organisation that was born and continues to thrive in Hull, we understand the important role that sport plays in this city. This is why we are delighted to be investing in one of Hull’s key sporting institutions through our new partnership with Hull KR. 

Both of us share a drive to make Hull the best it can be and provide people with access to new and exciting opportunities. This sponsorship is just the start and we have some exciting plans ahead.”
