Thanks for stopping by. I'm Carl - the CEO of Away Resorts - a unique operator of holiday resorts. Our resorts are located at six locations throughout the UK - Whitecliff Bay (Isle of Wight), Mill Rythe (Hampshire), Tattershall Lakes (Lincolnshire), Mersea Island (Essex), Sandy Balls (New Forest National Park) and Barmouth Bay (Snowdonia National Park). All provide a range of high quality accommodation choices from luxury holiday lodges and cottages with private hot tubs to camping facilities. 

The business was founded in 2008 by Neill Ryder (Chief Financial Officer), Greg Lashley (Operations Director) and myself. Based in Hemel Hempstead, the business has successfully grown sales to more than £50million. 

I am the third generation of my family to operate holiday resorts in the UK; and I've worked for the likes of Rank Group Holidays Division, Bourne Leisure and Park Resorts the UK’s largest holiday park businesses, in various management and Director roles prior to starting Away Resorts. 

Innovation and development are a permanent feature in how we think, constantly seeking new and exciting ways to entertain our customers, enhance our business practices and energise our colleagues.
