Mo Chaudry the charismatic British Asian leisure entrepreneur, property investor and star of the Channel 4 TV show “Secret Millionaire” has confirmed that his privately owned Waterworld Group will start work on a phased £10m expansion and development plan of the Waterworld complex in Stoke On Trent.
The announcement comes as plans have been given the go ahead by Stoke on Trent City Council allowing the Waterworld Group to develop and expand the Waterworld site.
The expansion of the Waterworld complex will see the new build of a purpose built 60,000 sq/ft leisure development alongside the existing aqua theme park. Details of the plans will include a new M Club Spa & Fitness Club, a new trampoline park, new water rides and attractions and the arrival of an indoor adventure golf concept called “Adventure Mini Island Golf”
Mo Chaudry - ranked as one of the UK’s Top 100 Asian Business people with an estimated fortune of £100m - acquired the failing business from The Rank Group in 1999 and has since invested millions over the years in a phased refurbishment plan of the leisure attraction.
The expansion plans will create a further 100 jobs in addition to the current 200 people employed within The Waterworld Group
Commenting on the announcement, Chairman of Waterworld Group Mo Chaudry said; “I am delighted that we are able to move forward with our exciting and ambitious plans for Waterworld Group continuing to make Waterworld one of the most successful and popular aqua theme park attractions in the UK and developing the site as a Leisure World. This is a significant investment into the region and will not only help boost the local economy but also strengthen Stoke on Trent’s bid for City Of Culture in 2021. I am particularly excited that we will also be able to bring Adventure Mini Island Golf to the Waterworld site giving another exciting leisure concept to our customers.”
