WimPen's managing director, Ivan Pengelly

TATOC, the Timeshare Association, announced today that Tenerife-based resort management company WimPen Leisure Management has joined as a Platinum Affiliate. WimPen provides more than 15,000 property owners at 13 resorts and communities with management services in Tenerife, Lanzarote, La Gomera and the Costa del Sol.

Managing director Ivan Pengelly said: “As our business has changed from that of a developer to resort management and administration, we have seen the need to focus on an organisation dedicated to the ethics of our industry.

"It is important that our 15,000 owner members and families are aware of WimPen’s commitment to the ethical standards required by an organisation such as TATOC."

TATOC's CEO Harry Taylor added: “We're absolutely delighted to have such a respected and established company as WimPen join the Association. We welcome their support and also the knowledge and expertise that they bring. I look forward to their ongoing participation.”

In 2010, TATOC has focused not only on increasing the membership base but also raising its profile, establishing the Association as the recognised voice of the timeshare consumer and an informed point of contact.
