David Turner said: “It is the most incredible privilege to become Chairman of the Caravan and Motorhome Club – a true members’ club.

“I look forward to serving our 1.1 million members and working with the dedicated Club staff and volunteers, both on the Club Campsite network and at Head Office.

“The Club is a great institution that has stood the test of time.

“Together with my committee colleagues and the Directorate team, we will continue to do all we can to enable our members to do what they love best, enjoy the great outdoors knowing they are in safe hands with the Club.

“We will also work to ensure we remain relevant to the next generation of Club members and their interests.”

Nick Lomas, Caravan and Motorhome Club Director General said: “The Club is delighted to announce that David Turner has been appointed as Club Chairman.

“David embodies the spirit of our touring membership and I, along with the team, are looking forward to working with him.
