From the administrators' statement
In 2003, the Company operated a platform which allowed customers to offer their holiday park properties for rental or sale from around the UK and Europe via a website. The website was developed using an application programming interface “API”, which is effectively a way for two or more computer programs to communicate with each other, allowing the Company to sync it’s website with those of their clients, creating an easier booking experience.
Michael Paul, the Company’s founder and director, has been involved in the UK leisure sector since 1971 when he qualified at the Royal Agricultural College as a chartered surveyor. After founding the Company in 2003, Michael Paul sourced funding in order to improve the Company’s website and services. To this end, Michael
-3McCann joined the Company as a Director in July 2012. Michael McCann went on to provide the majority of the funding for the Company, supporting it while the website was developed, and as industry contacts were made.
