Caravan manufacturer celebrates record sales

TOURING caravan, motorhome and holiday home manufacturer, Swift Group, is celebrating a record-breaking start to a new season with sales of more than £45m since last month.

Success started for the East Yorkshire group with the largest ever holiday home order placed last month at just over £6m. The group’s motorhome sales were 40% higher than last year at £17m.

Swift Group invested around £1.5m in its motorhome ranges for the 2015 season and touring caravan sales were also very close to record level performance at £22m.

Commercial director Nick Page said: “We are delighted with the results, which show a highly encouraging sign of resurgence in the caravan market, right from entry level to the top of the range. Sales have been so good our order book is full well into next year.”
