WHO ARE TINGDENE? In 1969, Jim Gibbard started manufacturing Park Homes and Lodges establishing Tingdene Homes. A separate venture into owning and managing Residential Parks during the 1980’s saw the formation of Tingdene Developments, now part of the Tingdene Group. Since then, the Tingdene Group has expanded its range of operations to become one of the UK’s largest operators and owners of residential Park Homes Estates, Inland Marinas, Caravan Parks, Lodge Parks and Chalet Parks.
