Motorhome boom drives sales surge at caravan retailer despite profit hit
Original source: East Midlands

Grantham Caravans reported turnover of £22.5m for the year to 30 June 2025, up from £18.8m, driven by growing demand for motorhomes. Pre-tax profit fell sharply from £296,000 to £67,000 as higher interest rates increased financing costs.

Moray holiday park expansion approved despite objections

Plans to add 21 static caravans at Silver Sands Holiday Park in Lossiemouth, Moray, have been approved by planning officers, overriding 18 objections from residents and caravan owners. Critics cited strain on amenities like the swimming pool and clubhouse, as well as environmental concerns about coastal dunes. Officials ruled most objections as non-material to planning, noting the development is on grassland, not dunes, and that internal road management is a private matter for the operator.
