‘We would definitely like a conversation with them’.
Holiday camp Butlin’s wants to buy rival Pontins abandoned resorts, it has emerged. The boss of Butlin’s revealed it contacted Pontins’ owner Britannia Hotels about taking over its sites in Southport, Merseyside, or Prestatyn, north Wales.
Pontins in Southport closed without warning in January, after Prestatyn - along Camber Sands, East Sussex - at the end of November. The closures were a big blow to the local communities, with fears about what would happen to them. Britannia Hotels, controlled by tycoon Alex Langsam, bought Pontins in 2011. It has been accused of under investing in the business.
