Bourne Leisure – Thorpe Park Holiday Centre

OVERVIEW

Having managed the maintenance of Thorpe Park Holiday Centre for six years, we were invited to tender to carry out the refurbishment of three shower, toilet and changing blocks for those who use the site for camping and touring. Bourne Leisure’s Haven brand wanted to update this area of the park as part of its ongoing commitment to improving facilities ahead of the new Spring and Summer 2017 season.

CHALLENGE

The work was vital given the popularity of camping and touring at Thorpe Park that sees 120 flat, grass and hard-standing pitches welcoming huge numbers of tourers, motorhomes, tents and trailer tents each year. The works, valued at £110,000 covered the Euro, Avocet and Knot blocks.
