Mark Bevan, Group Sustainability Manager highlighted some of the issues concerned with making local food available on some of the menus at their holiday parks. He explained that the transfer to using local produce was a long term aim and essential for companies moving forward in the future, especially with the longer term fuel prices set to rise.
