Tingdene Group has announced a change in its senior leadership, effective today, 2 March 2026, with Ethan Zone appointed chief executive officer and managing director of the UK operator of marinas, residential parks and holiday parks.
Ian Collier moves into the position of group executive chair after six years as group managing director and more than 30 years with the business. Andy Dixon continues as chief financial officer.
In his new role, Collier will focus on strategy and governance at board level and continue to support the company’s long-term direction. Zone, who joined Tingdene in 2020 and previously served as strategy director, now leads the company’s executive management team.
Zone stated: “I feel extremely proud to continue our legacy and to take on the role of CEO at Tingdene Group. Our recent growth reflects the strong foundations built over many years and the dedication of our leadership team and colleagues across the business.”
Collier commented: “I am extremely proud of what we have achieved together and of the strong business Tingdene is today. This transition marks an exciting next chapter for the group.”
Both executives thanked each other for their support and acknowledged the contribution of colleagues across the organisation.
Founded in 1969, Tingdene began as a manufacturer of park homes and lodges before expanding into the ownership and management of residential parks in 1998. Over time, it expanded into holiday parks and marinas, building a portfolio that now spans 52 locations nationwide.
The leadership change follows recent acquisitions within the group’s portfolio. In 2025, Tingdene completed the acquisitions of Farndon Marina in Nottingham and Holy Loch Marina in Dunoon, Scotland, as well as Stonecliff Residential Park in Lincolnshire.
