A group of businesses in the north-east is set to expand its caravan operations thanks to a growth in the market.
According to the Northern Echo, Teeside’s Hambleton Group will significantly increase its caravan storage space.
Work has begun to create room for a further 700 units at the Thornaby site, bringing total capacity to 1,000 caravans.
The group’s Teeside Warehousing has enjoyed a constant waiting list for its facilities since it opened.
“Caravans are a massive business and in the last two years it has grown rapidly,” explained manager Lisa Pluves.
“Caravanning has become more popular and within a lot of local authority areas or new housing developments, you cannot park caravans on your drive,” she revealed.
Ms Pluves added that the last expansion was a decade ago and was filled within months.
Caravan parks in the area include the White Water Caravan Club site in Stockton-on-Tees, which is part of the UK’s largest white water canoeing and rafting course.
