History

The company was founded in 1991 with the purchase of Lakeview Park in Romford, Essex by its present chairman Alfie Best. It was originally based in Rainham, Essex but later moved its headquarters to West Thurrock, Essex. Wyldecrest Park is a residential mobile home park brand,[6][7] and Wyldecrest Holiday Park is a sub- brand which focuses on the holiday parks including a golf course.[8]

The company operates a charity called the Wyldecrest Charitable Trust.[9]

In October 2011, Wyldecrest Parks owner Alfie Best, voluntarily accepted a police caution for an alleged physical assault on one of his residents at Scatterdells Park, Bovingdon.[10] The resident was protesting alterations to the park. She later pressed charges, with police offering Best either a caution or go to court.[11]

In December 2018, Wyldecrest Parks was ordered by Havering Council to demolish dwellings which they had built at the Lakeview Park property near Romford after it was revealed that the development was on greenbelt land and lacked planning permission as it was outside of the park's licenced area. Some residents had paid up to £280,000.[12][13]
