Liam Race has been appointed Chief Executive of the Leger Shearings Group. He succeeds Ian Henry, who has moved to the role of Executive Chairman.

Liam joined Leger Holidays in 2017 as Commercial Manager. He was promoted to the role of Commercial Director two years later.

Before arriving at Leger he held positions with Apollo Direct, Alpharooms and Clickstay, but immediately prior to joining he spent nearly five years with Maplin in various roles.

In December 2019, Liam and his fellow Directors Andrew Oldfield and Chris Plummer acquired a 30% stake in Leger Holidays. Ian and Kathleen Henry hold the remaining 70%.

Says Liam Race: “Ian has been an inspirational mentor to me and he has successfully led Leger Holidays for many years, including during these challenging pandemic times.

“When I committed to the company by acquiring a stake a year ago, the intention was for me to step up and for Ian to be less involved in the day-to-day running of the business. That time has now come. I have learnt so much from Ian and I am pleased that in his new role as Executive Chairman, the Leger Shearings Group will continue to benefit from his exceptional strategic thinking.

“In combining the sales potential for the two brands, 2022 is set to be the biggest year in the Group’s history. We are currently working on ways to make the most of that opportunity.

“‘Pent up demand’ is a phrase often used but which in reality doesn’t actually exist. In these times, we feel that it does. As the ability to travel increases, that puts the business in a strong position. It will be an exciting time to be taking the reins.”

Ian adds that Liam has “led the digital transformation” of the Group. He also worked closely on the acquisition of the Shearings brand after its owner Specialist Leisure Group ceased trading in May 2020.

“His enthusiasm, knowledge and passion for excellence will be key ingredients to help grow and develop the Leger Shearings Group.”
