Diggerland Devon Welcomes New General Manager Gavin Shuman

Diggerland Devon is thrilled to welcome Gavin Shuman as its new General Manager. With over 15 years’ experience in the leisure and attractions industry, Gavin brings fresh leadership and a clear vision to elevate the park’s family-friendly appeal. Just weeks into the role, the park has already seen a 47% rise in visitor numbers year-on-year.

Gavin’s arrival marks a new era of innovation and growth. He’s worked closely with Office Manager Angela Blackford to roll out major site improvements, including the brand-new Little Tikes Wheelz Play Zone, an upgraded Party Area, and a refreshed Dig Inn café, boosting the park’s all-weather appeal.

In line with continued investment, Diggerland Devon is proud to introduce the brand-new 2025 JCB 3CX Plus machines. These powerful, state-of-the-art diggers feature Power Shift transmission and air conditioning, offering smoother, more immersive digger driving experiences for both families and adult experience days.

A proud member of the Devon Association of Tourist Attractions, Gavin is already collaborating with local partners to grow community ties and raise awareness of the park’s unique offerings.

With more improvements on the horizon, Diggerland Devon is truly entering an exciting new chapter.
