Swift set to expand in Cottingham near Hull

Swift Group, the UK’s largest leisure vehicle manufacturer, is planning a significant expansion on its Cottingham site.

A new assembly hall will be built adjacent to the current production facility and will consolidate its Holiday Home business onto one site.

The new facility will also incorporate a large covered storage area for just in time delivery of components. Other civil works complementing this expansion include an enlarged Holiday Home despatch area. This signals Swift’s intent over the coming years to increase its production capacity.

Preparatory works will start over the next few months and the main element of the building work will be completed before April 2018.

James Turner, Managing Director said, “I am delighted to announce this expansion to our Cottingham facility. There has been confidence and strong demand in Swift Group products across all sectors. The market has shown signs of resurgence, so the expansion of the factory and development of the Cottingham site will provide some great opportunities to strengthen our future position in all of our markets.”
