Choose Leisure Ltd bought out by management team

Canterbury-based dealer, Choose Leisure, announced it has officially been bought out by its management team. The new owners, consisting of Managing Director David Williams, Finance Director Lisa Canning, and Charlie Joiner who operates as Service Director, took over the company at the end of July following what was described as a smooth transition for staff and customers.

From childhood camping trips to 50-mile hiking challenges in Scotland, Nathaniel is no stranger to outdoor adventure and testing the limits of camping gear.

The company was previously owned by founders, Paul and Jenny, who first opened the dealership in 2008, and grew it into the award-winning establishment it is today.

Paul said,

Jenny and I are so very proud of what we’ve achieved since creating Choose Leisure 17 years ago. It’s been an amazing journey and, in truth, we could never have envisaged then the company it has grown to become today. It is so rewarding to support Dave, Lisa and Charlie as they embark on their own journey, knowing that Choose Leisure will continue with the same values under their stewardship. A heartfelt thank you to all those who have supported us with their loyalty along the way – staff, suppliers, friends, family and, of course, our customers. It’s been a blast!

Previously working at Auto-Sleepers, Bailey and Swift, David Williams has been the Managing Director for two years and is now the majority shareholder, too.

David commented,

“This acquisition has been years in the making, with Paul and Jenny successfully assembling the senior management team to secure the long-term future of Choose Leisure. We are delighted with the faith shown in us.”
