One of the south of England’s well-loved holiday destinations has been sold after being run by a family for nearly 60 years.
Hayling Island caravan park is currently run by family-owned Elliott’s Caravan Estates Limited but a number of members have decided to sell the holiday site.
Law firm Blake Lapthorn has been drafted in to conduct the sale after brothers Michael and Paul Elliott along with cousin John Elliott have decided to step down.
The site will be sold on to Green Wood Park, another independent family-owned business, which has three caravan parks in the south of the country.
Hayling Island caravan park was first established in 1953 and boasts 217 static caravan pitches making it a big hit for holidaymakers heading down to the coast in the summer.
Mat Wilson, from the corporate team at Blake Lapthorn, said: “It has been a real honour and a delight to have assisted Michael, Paul and John with the successful sale of the company, which they have nurtured and developed for nearly 60 years.”
