SUDDEN
DEPARTURE
OF BIG4 CEO
The hunt is on for a new head for the BIG4
park chain following the surprise departure
of high-profile CEO Ray Schleibs.

Caravan breaks
$1m price barrier
America’s greatest minds from motor
racing and space research organisations
have combined their talents to build
the world’s most expensive caravan.
Global Caravan Technologies carbon fibre
CR-1 is 10.6 metres long and loaded with
technology, costing more than $1m fully
featured. It’s said to weigh half as much
as a normal caravan of its size and will
go on sale in the US later this year.

Mr Schleibs achieved instant fame when
he first took over the role nearly four
years ago and spent his first few days
on the job being filmed by the Channel
Ten TV series “Undercover Boss”.
Mr Schleibs told Time to Roam
he could not comment at all on the
circumstances of his resignation.
A company
spokesman said
the respected CEO
had left to pursue
other interests.
Kari Hunter, BIG4
Head of Brand
Strategy has been
appointed acting
CEO of the country’s
biggest franchise
parks chain.
