Pontin

Pontins is a British holiday business which was originally founded in 1946 by Fred Pontin. It specialises in offering half-board and self-catering holidays with regular entertainment on offer. Accommodation is usually in the form of chalets. The company once grew to be a major operator of seaside holiday accommodation, but has now shrunk considerably. Their slogan was "All your want-ins at Pontins".

On 12 November 2010, Pontin's Limited entered administration but was bought in January 2011 by Britannia Jinky Jersey Ltd, a Jersey-based investment vehicle with links to the Britannia Hotels Ltd group.
