Kevin Allcock has been promoted from operations director of Leisure Parcs to managing director.

He joined the company – which operates Blackpool Tower, Winter Gardens and Louis Tussaud’s waxworks – in July 2005 from Yates Group, where he was group operations director.

“I am absolutely delighted to be leading such a prominent Blackpool business, with such skilled and dedicated senior management and attractions teams, at such an exciting time,” said Allcock.

“We are absolutely committed to not only delivering quality family entertainment but also to operating first-class visitor Attractions, in Britain’s number one resort.

“Both Leisure Parcs and Blackpool’s future is very bright indeed and we are privileged and excited to be a major part of it.” Details: www.leisure-parcs.co.uk
