They’re a credit to the industry

I've had the opportunity to work with Jim and his team for the past year and its truly been refreshing to work with a team of people that have so much industry knowledge.

They’re professional with a great work ethic, and they have creative ideas that have increased our sales exponentially. One of their greatest attributes is their willingness to offer their advice and guidance – learning from his vast experience and knowledge has undoubtedly increased my productivity and has helped me achieve maximum returns for holiday homes with professional imagery and market leading advertising.

They’re a credit to the industry and I would recommend them to anybody looking to take their business to the next level.

A client needed an expert opinion from a planning consultant regarding land in a green belt area of Lancashire. I called Jim Gandon who was just about to jump on a plane, so he asked James Gourlay to call me, which he did almost immediately. After a brief conversation and a short email, he got the team on the case. The report was well researched and very detailed. How refreshing to receive immediate action, I highly recommend James and the team at The Leisure Group.

The team and TLG have a wealth of experience within the leisure industry. Jim offers much more than just sales & marketing consultancy, he also gives confidence to the operator to develop a strategy that will increase sales & creating value. Jim & I have also worked closely to create the latest iconic lodge designs the industry today which we are very proud of & both enjoy pushing the design boundaries & capabilities in this industry.

James has incredible industry experience having worked at numerous Holiday Home Parks as well as in a central Ops role. James is a strong leader who has excellent people management skills. Park Leisure in particular really benefited from James’ experience in all aspects of General Management.He took responsibility for Health & Safety across the entire business and provided the General Managers with support and guidance in relation to caravan sales, park operations and budget management to name but a few. James would be a fantastic asset to any Park Operator looking to improve and enhance their business.

There are not many peopleI've come into contact with who have a wider scope of industry knowledge thanJim. He is very well respected across the sector and has held many positions with the big players and has since taken the experience from those roles and now does a wonderful job in consulting. From a recruitment, sales and marketing perspective, there is a very small number of people I'd turn to, but Jim is certainly in that few.

Jim has always been focused on how to improve and succeed in this industry and shows a real passion for his trade. He knew he wanted to pursue with his own business venture very early on, and has worked independently and for others to achieve his goal. I believe that Jim would be an asset to anybody looking for particular resources in the holiday market, as he brings a tremendous amount of energy, enthusiasm and knowledge. He’s a very bright and qualified individual, and a pleasure to work with I wish him all the success that awaits. When I’ve worked with Jim, I been impressed by his ability to communicate with his staff, clients and prospective clients. He’s efficient, professional, organised, and a fantastic leader. I don’t hesitate in recommending Jim to others who are looking for the skills and expertise he possesses.
