Cumbria-based leisure operator, Lakeland Leisure Estates, has secured funding from HSBC UK to expand and enhance its premises in Essex. Valued at £4 million, the funding boost will be utilised to develop new facilities and amenities at Roydon Marina Village, designed to accommodate more than 168 canal and river boats. The first stage of the project is expected to be completed by March 2024 and involves the introduction of new moorings and composite anti-slip walkways, as well as a new facility building that will feature laundry and bathroom amenities and electric vehicle chargers. Phase two of the project will include the construction of a slipway and boat yard. The expansion is set to increase revenue by £1 million and will give boaters access to a fully equipped repair and maintenance area. Lakeland Leisure Estates owns several holiday parks, hotels, and marinas across the UK, and the Roydon Marina Expansion will be the newest addition to its portfolio. Mark Morgan, Managing Director of Lakeland Leisure Estates, said, “The location has excellent transport links, helping the site continue growing as a popular leisure destination.” David Edwards, Global Relationship Director at HSBC UK, said, “We’re looking forward to the business continuing to improve facilities for UK holidaymakers and thrive as a leading company in the growing UK leisure industry.”
