We were delighted to briefly catch up with Billy Harrison , one of the Director’s at Harrison Holidays, as the company celebrates its impressive 50th anniversary. In this exclusive interview, Billy shares his thoughts on the values that have shaped the company, memorable moments created for guests, and his vision for the future of the business.
Q. What are the core values that have driven the success of Harrison Holidays? BH: “For over 50 years, we’ve upheld values that are close to our hearts: family, sustainability, quality, and integrity, the core of everything we do. Each of our parks are designed to create spaces for family bonding and lasting memories. With the third generation of Harrisons now coming through into the business, sustainability plays an even bigger role in our vision.” Q. Can you share an examples of how Harrison Holidays has created memorable experiences? BH: “One example that comes to mind is a recent family reunion at one of our parks. It was wonderful to see everyone reconnect and create lasting memories together. Experiences like this remind us why we are in this business. We are always striving to make moments like these even more special for our guests.” Q. Harrison Holidays is a key contributor to the visitor economy. How does the company support the local community? BH: “Supporting our communities is fundamental to our business. We are involved in charity events and sponsor local sports teams. Our parks bring tourism to the areas in which we serve and we make sure to source local produce for all our bars and restaurants, giving visitors a true taste of the region.”
Q. Innovation is a significant part of Harrison Holidays’ growth. Can you tell us more about that? BH: “Innovation is key to our continued growth. We have introduced park-specific apps that feature local attractions, events, and real-time offers. We are constantly evolving, and part of that evolution is offering innovative accommodation options that cater to different needs.”
Q. On a personal note, what does Harrison Holidays mean to you?
BH: “It is always been about more than just running a business. I’m a family man myself, and I have got a tourer. I see the value in family time, and that’s what Harrison Holidays is all about – creating moments where families can reconnect and make memories.” Q. Looking ahead, what are your aspirations for the future of Harrison Holidays? BH: “We are looking ahead with excitement. We have recently expanded to 10 parks with the addition of Crofthead Holiday Park in Ayr, Scotland. We are focused on maintaining high standards and expanding our holiday home sales and ownership opportunities. Our promise is to keep improving, ensuring that every holiday and ownership experience is memorable.”
