Claire Flower, Director of Beverley Holidays in Paignton, has become the National Chair of the Holiday and Residential Parks Association (HARPA). Claire was elected to the office by fellow members of the association to which some 3,000 holiday and residential park businesses in Britain belong. She will now be helping to spearhead a fast-growing industry which generates £12.2 billion of visitor spending each year, and supports over 226,700 full-time jobs. In her new role, Claire will take on a range of responsibilities, including talks with national and regional governments on matters affecting the parks industry. It’s a task for which she is well qualified having served as the association’s Vice Chair for the past two years, and held senior posts within various HARPA executive committees.
