Very sad news has been received of the passing of Mr Brian Potter MBE, the Chairman of Potters Leisure Resort on the Norfolk coast. Mr Potter passed away on November 4th 2014 surrounded by his family.

Brian was an extraordinary visionary, who in his time transformed Potters into a 5 star 52 week luxurious holiday destination for millions of visitors each and every year. Many of you will have seen Joe in The Atlas Theatre on his Potters visits over the years.
