Meet the Senior Leadership Team

Stephanie Kogels
Interim CEO
I absolutely love being part of Cove UK – it's all about creating a home away from home, whether it's for a weekend getaway, a regular stay, or even permanently. Outside of work, my heart is all about exploring new places, spending quality time with my family, and enjoying a glass of wine!

Terry Norton
Business Director
Being part of Cove is so exciting and I can't wait to bring our values to life right across our business. Since the age of 21, I have been working within the caravan park industry. I am married to my husband Michael who is from Austin, Texas where we lived for 2 years. Back in the states I worked for a brand called Chi'lantro, a Korean BBQ fusion brand. I live in Newcastle with Michael and our cat Pablo. I love anything Marvel and I am a huge fan of West End theatre. I have seen the show Wicked twenty-three times - please don't judge!

Rob Turner
Director of Operations
Starting back in 1997 with Haven as a Glass collector at the age of 17, I spent the next 10 years working in various roles and departments to get a solid understanding of the business. Becoming the youngest General Manager in the UK was my ambition, I was told it was not possible. I managed to achieve this 2 weeks before my 25th Birthday. I have had the pleasure of leading and developing some of highest performing businesses in the industry, and my 25 years to date has been split between the two market leaders, in a variety of senior leadership roles.

Antony Smith
Head of Culture and Development
What I love about working at Cove UK is the excitement of being somewhere people choose to come to for their holidays. This attracts team members who are always positive and upbeat - there is no other industry like it. My big passion is to travel; I lived and worked in tourism overseas for many years and now I look forward to my holidays. I don't have one favourite place, but I am fascinated by Venice, where I worked for several years and I go back every year. It really is unique.

Kevin Tudor
Head of Safety Services
My name is Kevin Tudor and I'm the UK Head of Safety Services to help Cove deliver a safe environment for both our Team and Guests. My working life started as an Apprentice Electronics Engineer building and maintaining missile guidance systems, however the call to the Leisure Industry was soon to follow as I joined Rank as a Service Engineer. I am a person who loves meeting people and ensuring whatever I do is with the right intent while having fun doing it. The Leisure Industry is where I have remained for the last 35 years, 25 of those years being in Health and Safety. I live in Gloucestershire and have been married now for 36 years, I have 3 children who have gifted me 4 lovely grandchildren, 2 of which are twins.

Laura Jurczak
Head of Commercial
Laura looks after the various workstreams under Commercial Operations, including Procurement, Commercial Holidays and Fleet Management. Laura says, “Coming from the corporate world my journey since joining Cove in January 2023 has felt like a whirlwind, it has definitely been the most exciting and interesting year of my career. We have the best people, the best locations and an abundance of opportunities for success in Cove and I’m really looking forward to the next 5 years of building our successes together. At home I have 3 amazing girls; Izabela, Zofia and Matylda, all at Primary school, they keep me and my husband busy with their sporting activities and social lives!

Lisa McEwan
Head of Owners
I am very excited to be here at Cove, bringing a passion for excellent customer service to the Owners across all our beautiful parks. I have lived by the seaside practically my whole life, and have recently moved to Selsey, where my two dogs, Reggie & Ralph, love their daily walks on the beach. I have worked in practically every role you can imagine in the Caravan Park Industry, spanning over 30 years, in fact I lived in a caravan for the first six months of life so you could say it was a role I was born to do!

Darren Scutter
Chief Financial Officer
My initial focus has been on building capability within the finance team. I am extremely proud of the team and delighted that it has been from promoting some of the more longstanding team combined with bringing in new members – next its about getting us Fit for Growth. I’ve been married to Nicola for 23 years having met at school and we are grateful to have been blessed with 3 wonderful daughters. Outside of work I spend most of my time at a hockey pitch, either watching my daughters play or stepping onto the pitch as a level 1 qualified umpire!
