Events, Training & Consultancy

The Park Home & Holiday Park Association delivers practical training, structured development and industry events designed to help park operators start, build and grow sustainable, professional park businesses. Led by Bradley Chapman, with over 35 years’ experience as a business consultant, coach and strategist, PHHPA brings commercial thinking, operational structure and growth expertise into the park sector.

We work with residential park operators, holiday and leisure parks, touring sites and suppliers who want to strengthen their operations, improve standards and increase profitability.

Proven Experience in Park Operator Development

PHHPA has already delivered three dedicated start up park operator training programmes focused on acquisition, development and commercial structuring. From the very first programme, attended by a select group of six to eight prospective operators, two participants went on to acquire and develop new parks. Since then, Bradley has worked with a further five to six individuals and groups who have successfully purchased, developed and operated residential and holiday parks across the UK.

This experience has provided practical, real world insight into:

• Park acquisition strategy
• Due diligence and valuation
• Development planning
• Commercial modelling
• Sales structure and marketing systems
• Long term operational sustainability

Our approach is grounded in hands on experience, commercial realism and strategic guidance rather than theory alone. We understand what it takes to move from concept to acquisition, from acquisition to development, and from development to stable operation. That experience now feeds directly into PHHPA’s training, consultancy and sector support work.

What We Provide

Our support includes:

• Start up guidance for new park operators
• Growth strategy for established parks
• Sales and marketing development
• SEO and website performance training
• Digital visibility and enquiry generation
• Brand positioning and customer experience
• Operational structure and management systems
• Commercial consultancy and strategic planning
• Guidance on engaging professional legal and advisory support

Bradley’s consultancy background brings external business discipline into a sector that is evolving rapidly, while maintaining sensitivity to the operational realities of park ownership.

Industry Events & Recognition

PHHPA also hosts industry events, training sessions and recognition programmes designed to strengthen collaboration and professionalism across the sector.

Our events include:

• Operator training workshops
• Online Zoom sessions for structured sector dialogue
• Growth and strategy seminars
• Awards and recognition events
• Public listening forums to gather constructive feedback

We believe strong parks are built through open communication, continuous learning and practical leadership.

A Balanced Approach

In addition to supporting operators, we recognise the importance of hearing the voice of residents and customers. Where appropriate, PHHPA facilitates structured discussions that help operators understand public expectations and evolving standards. The aim is not confrontation.
It is clarity, improvement and long term stability.
