Today, Jeff Needles begins his first day as Lazydays Holdings’ chief financial officer (CFO).
Needles succeeds interim CFO Jeff Huddleston, whose resignation is effective today. Huddleston will stay temporarily as a consultant to ensure a smooth transition.
Lazydays Interim CEO Ron Fleming said, “I want to thank Jeff Huddleston for his contributions as interim CFO.”
Needles joins the dealer chain with more than 20 years of experience in financial management experience. Needles’ career includes a concentration on financial planning and analysis, cost analysis and operational efficiency.
He was previously Warbird Marine Holdings CFO. Before his time at Warbird, he held similar positions at United Enertech Holdings, Schnellecke Logistics USA, Mastercraft Boat Co. and Harley Davidson Motor Company.
Fleming said Needles’ experience “will be a tremendous benefit to Lazydays.”
Lazydays recently completed multiple business adjustments including selling seven stores to Camping World and one to Fun Town RV. The changes occurred in conjunction with the dealer chain’s significant losses reported in its 2024 third quarter fiscal results.
Needles’ placement is another step in amending the company’s current challenges.
He said, “I could not be more excited to join the Lazydays team at this time.”
