Growing trend in caravanning helping to aide company growth elsewhere
New jobs are set to be created at a logistics company, said to come off the back of the positive impact the surge in caravanning is bringing with it, it has been reported.
Neill & Brown Global Logistics, based in Hull, will be creating a number of jobs and increasing its vehicle fleet, as well as expanding its business opportunities in both domestic and export markets, with the resurgence of the region’s caravan industry helping to fuel company growth.
Neill & Brown group chief executive, Peter Brown, said: “This is a significant investment, reflecting our desire to meet current customer demand and demonstrates our optimism about future growth.
“The resurgence of caravan manufacturing has resulted in an increase in business for us in the transport of new mobile and static caravans within the UK.
“We are also seeing increased secondhand sales to Europe, particularly to Poland, and to Belgium, the Czech Republic, France and the Netherlands. There is additional activity from construction clients for the movement of site cabins and modular buildings, and we are also expecting demand from the renewables sector.”
Following on from recent news on the positive results seen at the Motorhome & Caravan Show 2015, it goes without saying that the caravan industry is currently experiencing a positive boom. Long may it continue.
