Your Skelwith Fold Team
Introducing the team at Skelwith Fold Caravan Park who will look after you however you choose to stay with us. Our dedicated team ensure you have a truly memorable stay.
Geoff Elliot – Holiday Park Manager
Part of the Skelwith Fold family since 2006, Geoff has been overseeing operations on the park as a whole since his arrival. In his time here he has seen the addition of various green and sustainability initiatives, new caravan holiday homes and extra pitches and the introduction of rental accommodation, all with a very hands-on attitude.
Matt F – Grounds Maintenance Manager
For over 10 years Matt has brought his skills to the maintenance team which combined with his calm attitude it made sense when he was promoted to manager. He should take credit for a lot of the detailed choices when any part of the park is re-landscaped in a manner sympathetic to how things tend to look at Skelwith Fold.
Emma B – Administrator
Emma has been with us for several years now tackling the ever growing task of administration. A sometimes thankless task but a job where her accuracy really pays off. If ever you manage to stump our reception staff then Emma is likely to appear with assistance.
