About Away Resorts

Away Resorts was born when CEO Carl, along with Neill and Greg (finance and operations directors) teamed up with a shared dream to create the holiday park of the future, along with a strong desire to shake up the industry.

Fast forward nine years, throw in an awful lot of hard work, laughs, passion and a bunch of amazing staff and you have a growing family of parks. Each park has its own unique personality, buzzing with guests all year round and a business at the cutting edge of the sector. Away Resorts has won industry awards and accolades, been rated in the top 100 fastest growing businesses in the UK and attracted a new wave of holiday park devotees.

The thing that makes Away Resorts different is that they place equal value on their product and their people. The combination of innovative, amazing accommodation and a passionate guest focused team delivering delight, is powerful. They have seen incredible growth in recent years and they have even more ambitious future plans.
