Leonard Thompson (businessman)
Leonard Thompson (9 September 1914 – 1 February 1976) was a British businessman who was the managing director and owner of Blackpool Pleasure Beach. He rose to his position in 1929 after the death of his wife's father, William Bean.
==Biography==
Leonard Thompson met his future wife, Doris Bean, in 1928. He worked for the Swedish Match Company at that time, and the couple soon decided to settle down in London. However, within 12 months Doris' father, William Bean, died whilst on a Mediterranean cruise.〔The Independent (1 July 2014) (Doris Thompson: Centenarian chairman of Blackpool Pleasure Beach ). The Independent〕 Both Leonard and his wife decided to return to Blackpool to try and keep the Pleasure Beach running, and maintain Bean's dream. While Doris became a director, Leonard became chairman and managing director of the park - roles than continued for almost 50 years.
Leonard's years of the running the Pleasure Beach saw many famous attractions opened, including the Grand National, Fun House and Ice Drome. There were also many lesser known rides introduced, many of which have been removed.
