Sales Director David Mooney was recently honoured by the National Caravan Council for his 25 years service to Carr Royd Parks. David first came to Carr Royd in 1986, initially as a weekend salesman, when the company bought Scarness Bay Park at Bassenthwaite . When Michael Taylor had a heart bypass just after becoming NCC Chariman and his wife Sandy had to take over the park redevelopment , David was brought in as full time Sales & General Manager of what was to become the award winning Bassenthwaite Lakeside Lodges, the first totally timbre clad holiday caravan park in the country.
Sandy’s decision to bring Dave into the company proved to be the start of twenty five years of his involvement in all phases of the company’s growth and park development. He started his working life as a television engineer. That gave him skills he has adapted to investigate all park technical aspects. Most recently he has lead their environmental awareness reducing power consumption on electric, gas and installing solar panels to heat the swimming pool. These efforts were recognized when Sunset Park beat worthy competitors such as British Aerospace to win the ‘Green Business of the Year 2010’ at Lancashire’s BIBAs Awards (Be Inspired Business Awards).
Through the years Dave’s value as a salesman at the various parks Carr Royd Parks have owned has helped generate a solid business making sales even in the hard times. His contribution to the company was recognized when he was made Sales Director several years ago.
After the presentation of his 25 years in the industry certificate from the National Caravan Council, Mike and Sandy presented Dave with a watch to commemorate and thank him for his 25 years at CRP.
