Beverley Firm Make An Impact At Caravan Show

The new caravan season is under way, and thousands of people have already gone to Cottingham to see what the latest designs are now available on the market.

Beverley business ABI Caravans are just one of many local companies that is at the show that gives both consumers and the trade a chance to see all the models in one location.

ABI who are the second largest manufacturer of holiday homes in the UK as well as being Beverley’s biggest employer has one of the most impressive set ups at the Cottingham caravan show.

For the first two days of the event, Saturday and Sunday members of the public are able to come around and see all the new models from a host of companies.

Come Tuesday it is the turn of the industry and those involved in selling the products to consumers to have the chance to meet up with manufacturers and see what they have for the new season.

While surveying the impressive display ABI set up to show case their latest models Dan Huage, the sales director said;

“We invested a lot of money in this event, but you have to as this is where the business is done.”

“All of the holiday homes are set up like they would be in a resort, we work with the decking providers like Mayfield making sure that every last detail is perfect.”

Dan is incredibly proud of the contribution ABI makes to the Beverley economy, a major employer the company provides work for unskilled people through to highly skilled people.

ABI Caravans are manufacturing around 90 holiday homes a week at their Swinemoor Lane factory which are shipped right around the country.

Just over 12 months ago our helped the industry fight the proposed introduction VAT being added to the sales of new holiday homes. Had it gone through the tax looked likely to put hundreds of jobs in our area at risk.

At the time, Graham said;

“We must make sure the Treasury understands that the decisions they take will have a serious impact on the lives of hard working people in Beverley.”

If you are like me and are not familiar with the caravan and holiday home business, it is not until you go to a show like the one in Cottingham that you begin to realise just how important it is to all of us on a local level.

Around 80% of the holidays on the market are manufactured in our region with that comes jobs and of course in our own town Beverley, we have a market leader and one of the biggest brands in ABI.

The Caravan show is open to the public on Sunday. It is £3 to enter, and dogs are welcome. There is plenty of free parking.

There is also a FREE show at Cottingham Parks, again there is plenty of free parking.
