Ladram Bay Holiday Park

Ladram Bay Holiday Park

Ladram Bay Holiday Park

Ladram Bay began in June 1943, when a group of Scouts walking the coast path asked farmer Frank Carter if they could pitch a tent in his field. Eighty years on, the same family runs a 5-star, award-winning park on the same East Devon headland, now one of the largest privately-owned holiday parks in the UK. Energy runs behind all of it: the heated pools, the Three Rocks Inn, the entertainment venue, the shop, and hundreds of holiday homes above the bay. In September 2025, Ladram Bay moved its six electricity meters to tem, at a price 8% below its previous supplier.

"We asked for our power to be green-certified, at a fair price, with nothing hidden in the contract. That's exactly what we got. The price came in 8% below our previous supplier, across every one of our six meters."

What a holiday park gets back

A brief with nowhere to hide

The ask from Ladram Bay was specific. In the words of Lee Davison, the park's long-standing energy consultant at Business Saving Experts, the park wanted "a transparent and green-certified solution that was cost competitive, and had no hidden surprises." That last part matters. Energy contracts in this sector have a habit of hiding their true cost in the clauses: volume tolerances, non-commodity costs that show up once the opening offer has done its job. Ladram Bay asked for a contract it could read, at a price it could plan around.

A fair price for all

For parks that resell electricity to holiday-home owners, the rules cut one way: owners must be charged at the price the park itself pays, with no markup. Buy badly, and every owner on the park feels it. Buy well, and they all share in it. That makes a holiday park's energy decision a public one, taken on behalf of every family with a holiday home on the headland. It is also why the park asked for a price it could explain, not just a price that looked good on the day of signing.

Six meters, priced in the open

tem priced every one of Ladram Bay's six meters on the same terms, with the charges shown on the bill rather than folded into a headline rate. "Historically I've been introduced to energy providers that all say stuff at the outset, and six months down the line they're just the same as everybody else. They promise the earth and underdeliver. tem is coming from a totally different stance," says Lee.

Power as it should be

Power as it should be

Against its previous supplier, Ladram Bay now pays 8% less for its power, across all six of its sites. For a seasonal business that has to earn its year in a matter of months, that saving lands where it matters: in the running costs of a park that never gets to switch the power off, and in the rates passed on to every holiday-home owner on the site. The park runs the holidays. Energy runs in the background.
