North East holiday park operator Parkdean Resorts has announced plans to plough £140m into its UK parks as part of its biggest ever investment programme.
The Newcastle-based company, which has 66 parks around the UK, is making the spend on new accommodation, new and upgraded activities and facilities, and installing park-wide Wi-Fi to further improve customers’ experience in the continuing staycation boom.
The firm, which has its head office in Gosforth, said its advance bookings are at record levels, prompting a recruitment drive for 7,000 seasonal jobs, as well as a number of full-time jobs, across sales, food and beverage, and housekeeping, to add to the 2,000 jobs created last year.
