Three weeks later he started his own mobile phone shop then 18 months later with the help of a bank loan, he had thirteen stores in London. He later sold the business and moved to property investing.[4] In 2001, he bought his first mobile home park in Romford, Essex, the Lakeview Residential Park.[5] He has since begun businesses in the hospitality, leisure, events, trading and finance industries. In 2018 he purchased a golf course in Worcestershire.[3] In October 2011, Best voluntarily accepted a police caution for an alleged physical assault on one of his residents at Scatterdells Park, Bovingdon. The resident was protesting alterations to the park. She later pressed charges, with police offering Best either a caution or go to court.[6] In July 2015, he and his business Wyldecrest Parks were shortlisted for both Entrepreneur of the Year and Retail & Property categories at the 2015 London Loves Excellence awards.[7] Wyldecrest Parks won Retail & Property Business of the Year.[8]{{failed verification|date=March 2019}} In November 2018 Best was voted the 48th most influential person in the 2018 Essex Power 100 list, and ranked at number 11 in Leicestershire’s rich-list.[9] Personal lifeIn July 2016, Best was left with a “deep cut” after an attack by his son-in-law with a machete. It was heard he had previously reported "ongoing domestic violence" against his daughter Elizabeth but decided not to make an official complaint, instead opting to settle the dispute with a bareknuckle match. His son-in-law received a 13 month prison sentence for the attack.[10] FilmographyIn 2013, Best and his son Alfie Jnr, appeared on the Channel 4 television programme My Big Fat Gypsy Fortune.[11]{{Better source|reason=Source is subjects own personal website.|date=November 2018}} In 2018 he played a small cameo in the British crime film Once Upon a Time in London.[10] Charity workBest set up a charity called Wyldecrest Parks Charity, funding staffing and running costs himself.[12] References1. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0675njv|title=Anne Robinson BBC One Britains Spending Secrets|publisher=BBC|access-date=5 January 2017}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Best, Alfie}}2. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.worcesternews.co.uk/news/15377945.delight-as-golf-club-saved-from-closure/|title=Delight as golf club saved from closure|website=Worcester News|language=en|access-date=24 February 2019}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite web |last1=Watts |first1=Robert |title=Caravan king Alfie Best’s empire hits £140m |url=https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/caravan-king-alfie-bests-empire-hits-140m-b9wbqj072 |website=The Sunday Times |accessdate=2 November 2018 |language=en |date=9 September 2018}} 4. ^1 {{Cite news|title = Gipsy Alfie Best reveals how he made his first million in Ilford|url = http://www.ilfordrecorder.co.uk/news/gipsy_alfie_best_reveals_how_he_made_his_first_million_in_ilford_1_1336533|accessdate = 3 August 2015|first = by Edwina|last = Ellington|work =Ilford Recorder}} 5. ^[https://mostmogul.com/4-mogul-in-the-making-alfie-best-the-reign-of-the-gypsy-king/ Most Mogul , Mogul In The Making ~ Alfie Best – The Reign of The Gypsy King, April 30, 2018] 6. ^{{cite book |last1=House of Commons |first1=Communities and Local Government Committee |title=Park Homes: First report of session 2012-13.
