Holiday Parks, Caravan & Lodge Parks

Holiday Parks

Armstrong Watson have a team of specialist accountants and business advisers who can help you to make key decisions, helping you with everything from strategic advice, business plans and corporate finance through to annual accounts, book keeping and Payroll services.

With more brits than ever choosing a staycation rather than holidaying oversees UK holiday parks have enjoyed bumper profits over the last few years. However, with potential economic changes ahead in the form of increased interest rates and a strengthening pound, the growth rate of holiday parks could be affected. It is therefore vital that investment in the parks is maintained so that parks can continue to offer exceptional facilities and provide that great holiday experience which rivals international resorts.

Passionate and local - Armstrong Watson are the perfect fit to provide these accounting and advisory services for the holiday parks of the North of England and Scotland.

What our clients say

Alex Nicholson and Emma Forrester were fantastic throughout the process [helping us submit a retrospective claim to HMRC for overpaid VAT on removable contents sold as parts of caravans] and without them we would not be in the position we now find ourselves. We received a significant six-figure refund and now enjoy increased margins on each sale due to their work.

“As such we would urge other caravan and holiday park owners to speak to Armstrong Watson to find out if they too could benefit from their expertise in this area.”

Scott Mounsey, Finance Director of Cotterhill Limited

“Since taking over from a Big 4 firm, Armstrong Watson have been a breath of fresh air. We have been with a Big 4 firm for 34 years and we have had a lot better and closer working relationship with Andrew Kennon and Armstrong Watson. They impressed us from the outset with their sector knowledge and this has shown through in all the advice we’ve received. Helping make our ideas and goals reality. I would have no hesitation in recommending Armstrong Watson as anyone’s auditors and advisers.”
