Sustainability and low maintenance in holiday parks

Sustainability has been creeping up the agenda in every corner of life, and as more people holiday in the UK, there is more pressure for the holiday park sector to stay ahead of the eco-conscious curve. Sustainable building products can be a quick and easy solution with outstanding results.     The popularity of UK holiday parks continues to increase in the UK as domestic holiday makers look for a more affordable way to get away from it all. But as the sector enjoys more bookings, the pressure is on to keep standards high. Not just in terms of providing quality, clean lodgings, but also in terms of showing a commitment to sustainability. While a lot has already been done to make parks more sustainable, there is still a lot of potential to upgrade and future proof the very fabric of holiday homes. Sustainability is already on the radar of UK holiday parks but as a survey of 666 holiday park operators by the UK Caravan & Camping Alliance (UKCCA) demonstrated, while most providers are implementing sustainable initiatives like more recycling, or conserving water and energy, there is still a lot of potential to improve the sustainability of the caravans, lodges and mobile homes themselves.  profine UK has been designing and developing window and door systems since 1954 but has more recently been quietly shaping the future of sustainable building products. As a design-led, environmentally conscious manufacturer, the company is perfectly positioned to support the holiday park industry in its move towards greater sustainability.  The most innovative company you have never heard of MD of profine UK, Robert Thiroff, explains how the company’s established offering is the perfect solution for UK holiday and residential lodges, mobile homes and caravans. “Although our roots are in PVC window and door systems, we have been operating somewhat under the radar in the building products space for some time and have more recently added decking, balustrading, cladding, fencing, and internal panels to our portfolio – all with sustainability at their core. With this complete offering now in place, we are ready to share our story far and wide.  “All of our building products are made to our exacting standards, often offer technically better features than our competitors, and have been manufactured with a genuine company-wide commitment to sustainability. Our new extruded decking system, for example, is made using up to 98% recycled material, including old window frames. Every window we take out and every off cut from our fabricators comes back to us for a stringent process of prepping the material for recycling. We strip away any steel, aluminium or glass and re-extrude what is left into new products. And these new products are outperforming the market.” Surpassing expectations The building products manufactured by profine using recycled materials come without compromise for holiday park operators. The range of decking looks superb, but it also surpasses traditional timber because it doesn’t warp, twist or rot over time, and it is anti-slip, weather resistant and colourfast, without needing lots of ongoing maintenance.  profine also offers an integrated balustrading solution that suites in with the high-performance decking and equally performs for the long term, again without the time-consuming maintenance that is necessary with timber alternatives. As an integrated system, the colour can remain consistent across all capping, trims, posts, and ancillaries for an elevated, premium look.  The system also has an expected lifespan of 25 years, ensuring a durable and therefore cost-effective solution.   The colour-matching capabilities continue for the whole environment too. Thanks to the complete range on offer from profine UK and its sister brands including Kömmerling and WarmCore, windows, doors, decking, balustrading and fencing are all available in complementary colours. Even foiled aluminium doors can be matched with the PVC systems for a cohesive finish. This suited look can bring a premium feel to the whole environment and gives an excellent first impression for people browsing for their next break.  Eco-conscious manufacturing to deliver top end products  “Our recycled building materials offer holiday parks a top-end option,” continues Thiroff, “because they deliver on durability and consistency. And our Greenline range takes the commitment even further by giving customers a visible signpost to the recycled origins of the materials, proving that eco-conscious manufacturing can deliver the very best in performance as well as aesthetics.” The company’s WarmCore brand continues the commitment to innovation with a hybrid aluminium system with a PVC-U core that delivers up to 25% better thermal performance than conventional aluminium frames. And with no compromise to aesthetics, keeping the slim frames people have come to expect from aluminium. The WarmCore system is also manufactured using recycled materials.  It’s what’s on the inside that counts But it’s not just about the outside, the inside of a caravan or mobile home is just as important.  Thiroff explains how the company can help upgrade an interior space too: “profine manufactures laminated wall panels that can be used to renovate a space quickly and easily. For example, if a bathroom or bedroom looks a bit tired, our panels can be added without removing any tiles or disturbing any services. We have already supplied the same panels to renovate Disney hotels and McDonalds restaurants, so tweaking this expertise for the holiday park market has been easy to do. “There is an increasingly urgent need among caravan and mobile home owners and on a larger scale among holiday park operators to future proof holiday park accommodation with premium, sustainable, low maintenance building materials, and our suite of products allows them to do just that.” profine UK is a force to be reckoned with profiling over a 700 million euros globally, but it is the UK operation based in Huthwaite that is spearheading the movement towards high-quality, design driven products that are made from recycled materials. And it is this range of products that are being tailored for the specific needs of the UK holiday and residential caravan, lodge and mobile home market, to provide a long-term sustainable

Andy still enjoying work at Salop Leisure after 30 years service

An associate director at a multi-award-winning Shropshire leisure company is celebrating 30 years’ service. As associate director of retail and premises, Andy Harding’s wide-ranging role at Shrewsbury-based Salop Leisure also covers the adjoining, award-winning Love2Stay touring and glamping resort, which he oversees. Having started his career in car sales at Mercedes Benz in Shrewsbury, it wasn’t long before he swapped to touring caravan sales at Salop Leisure for seven years and then became manager of the company’s accessories shop for 23 years. He spent some time as joint general manager of Love2 Stay before being promoted to his current role. “When I joined the company, which was then known as Salop Caravans, on May 15, 1995, we had 35 members of staff on a 1.25 acre site at Meole Brace,” said Andy, 48, who lives at Meole Village. “Now we have 250 staff and a 50-acre site. “I am lucky because I still enjoy coming to work after 30 years. In fact, my partner, Zoe, says I put work before her because my phone is on 24 hours a day, seven days a week in my role! “There is very much a family atmosphere at Salop Leisure and I enjoy being part of the big family. It’s a lovely industry to work in because the people we meet are here for leisure or going on holiday and have a very positive attitude. “Only last week, I met a couple from Cannock who bought an Abbey Spectrum touring caravan from me 26 years ago! I have met so many people who have become good friends over the years. “For example, I work at caravan shows twice a year and I have seen the same people there for decades. We are part of a friendly community and have a good relationship with other dealerships.” Salop Leisure’s joint managing director Mike Harris said: “Congratulations to Andy for reaching this significant service milestone with the company. He has risen through the ranks deservedly due to hard work, dedication and loyalty over the past 30 years.” https://www.salopleisure.co.uk

Planting to grow your business

Hedge Planting With decades of firsthand experience in supplying the holiday park industry, as well as expert horticultural knowledge and advice, Wykeham Mature Plants are experts in supplying instant transformations tailored to the site conditions and to the requirements of your business.  Developing ongoing relationships with clients is key in helping them to grow their business and to provide their guests with an experience that they will want to revisit time and again. Supplying the trade with high quality large trees, specimen shrubs, instant hedging and screening plants for over forty five years, Wykeham Mature Plants spans over 150 acres of nursery, located in a frost pocket ten miles from Scarborough; the Yorkshire-grown stock is guaranteed to be hardy and free from imported pests and diseases. Nationwide delivery is available, and for sites located within a hundred miles or so from the nursery, site visits are available to provide consultations on your site and, if required, a professional and guaranteed expert planting service to help give your scheme the best possible start, as well as ongoing advice regarding their aftercare. As all successful operators know, a holiday park business cannot rely solely on their location or the surrounding countryside and must provide attractive, functional spaces to make their site a destination in itself. Failing to understand the business need for well-maintained outdoor spaces, especially in failing to see them through the eyes of your customers, will lead to poor budgetary decisions and missed opportunities – and failing to understand the conditions on site prior to planting may lead to costly mistakes.   At Wykeham Mature Plants we have real hands-on experience of planting and growing in a wide range of different conditions on different leisure sites for different purposes and for different business reasons. As well as guiding you to the best planting options to thrive in the growing conditions on your site, we can also help you to identify the areas on which to prioritise spending, ie on what is essential and urgent, such as security, privacy and shelter planting and also on planning issues, then on what is urgent and of benefit, such as an attractive entrance and reception/office area, then on what is essential but less urgent (such as areas where you can afford to plant smaller stock and wait for them to grow), and only then look at the “nice to haves”. Don’t get carried away allocating budget on highly ornamental areas if security and privacy issues haven’t yet been addressed or if messy bin areas need to be screened off! The importance of hedges Around the British countryside, screening and shelter has traditionally been provided by hedgerows – and since many leisure sites have been developed from farmland, these country hedges persist on the majority of holiday parks. As well as marking boundaries and providing security, these hedges provide a haven for wildlife and absorb CO2 from the air, helping to combat climate change. From a more practical stand-point, hedging makes sense as it doesn’t require planning permission, is far less likely to blow down than a fence and provides better security as it is harder to climb over. It absorbs sound, often cutting down noise far better than a solid screen such as a fence or wall, and rather than having to be replaced every few years, such as is invariably the case with fencing, a hedge can outlive its owner! Obviously, there can never be a one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to what plants should be used for hedging as different conditions on site will dictate what will grow there, and what the hedge is to be used for will also dictate plant selection, just as importance and urgency to the business versus budgetary limitations may also affect the size and maturity of the plants used, as will the level of aftercare (such as watering) required. Boundary hedges These are often the starting point to the landscaping and planting of most sites as they often predate the business by many years. However, do not neglect or ignore their importance. Boundary hedges are often your site’s primary security barrier to deter trespassers, they may provide shelter (especially in exposed and/or coastal locations) as well as to screen unsightly views. However, it is important to be considerate to your neighbours when planting on boundaries to avoid potential legal disputes (we can guide you through issues such as the High Hedge Legislation but for specific cases you should always seek professional legal advice) and may also be a factor in any planning applications you may make. For boundary hedges it is especially important to consider the possibility of grazing by livestock on adjacent land as well as to plant sympathetically to the surrounding landscape. Traditional “field” hedging Field hedges in Britain have most commonly been predominantly Hawthorn (as it is easy to grow from cuttings, is tolerant of a wide range of soil conditions, and forms a dense, thorny hedge to contain livestock) into which other species colonise over time. Hawthorn would normally be planted as bare-rooted whips during the winter, which is certainly the cheapest way when there are long distances to plant, but when something more instant is needed, such as to extend an existing hedge or to replace damage from a vehicle collision, we supply Hawthorn in 20ltr pots, with three or four plants per pot for increased density, to be planted two pots per metre for an instant hedge, starting at 150cm (5ft) and above. Security hedging Whether for deterring trespassers and potential thieves at the boundaries of the site or for discouraging curious guests from private “employee-only” areas within the site, hedges provide a simple security solution. In most cases a hedge tall enough to not see over and dense enough to not see through or push through is usually sufficient. Therefore, something fast-growing, or planted at a more mature size, fits the bill. For higher risk areas an additional deterrent may be necessary, so thorny or prickly options may be

With 4 models in the range and max head capacities between 40 – 54m, the new Saniboost range is a domesticbooster pump ideal for optimised and smooth water supply. Max flow from 3.6m³ to 5m³ ensures there is a model to increase and regulate the pressure of water collected in most sizes of domestic water tank and the units operate automatically and are particularly suited for low-flow consumption. A Saniboost includes a buffer tank that limits the frequent starts and stops of the pump to which reduces noise disturbances and wear on the product. Each model offers guaranteed service pressure on drip irrigation installations or automatic flush mechanisms.  Sanisub is a family of submersible pumps designed for a variety of applications including flood recover, basement drainage, rainwater re-use and, in some cases, light commercial operations.  With flow rates between 9–15m³/hour and heads up to 11m, Sanisub models like the ZPK, 800 Rainkit, and Steel + Emergency Kit provide powerful, reliable water management for challenging environments.

With four inlets, flow rates up to 14m³/hour and heads of 7-10m the robust Sanifos can be discretely installed underground to move water from buildings, garden rooms and multiple small units – such as pods.  From a sustainability perspective, the Clear Water pump range promotes responsible water reuse and offers eco-conscious solutions that support the full water cycle—from collection and storage to redistribution. By enabling the reuse of grey water and alternative water sources like rivers, pools, and rainwater, these pumps help reduce demand on treated mains supply. The addition of the Clear Water means that Saniflo is now a one-stop-show for all water management requirements; offering complete solutions for both wastewater and clean water applications. Whether you need to flush, drain, or pump — above or below ground — Saniflo provides easy-to-install, reliable systems designed to perform automatically with minimal maintenance.

Hull and East Yorkshire Caravan Trade Show returns

The Return of a Legacy: The Cottingham Show Comes Home An industry trade show is back on after leading businesses got together to revive it. Manufacturers, including Beverley Leisure Homes, Omar, Pemberton Park & Leisure Homes, and Sunseeker Holiday Homes – have brought back the Cottingham Trade Show and rebranded it with a fresh new name and logo as the Hull & East Yorkshire Caravan Trade Show.  It is set to take place at Cottingham Parks Golf and Leisure Club from September 9 -11. A spokesperson for the show said: “With the Harrogate Caravan Show cancelled, we knew the industry needed a platform to showcase the latest in holiday homes, lodges, and caravans. So, we’ve taken the initiative to create a new tradition right here in East Yorkshire. “This will be a trade-only event, giving holiday park owners and industry professionals the perfect opportunity to explore the latest models, network with fellow experts, and see first-hand what our industry has to offer. “For 44 years, Cottingham (specifically the Lawns at the University of Hull) was the beating heart of the UK’s caravan industry every September. “Whether you were showcasing the latest innovations in holiday homes or hunting for the next big trend in lodge design, Cottingham was the place to be. “Then in 2020, the show relocated to Harrogate. While the new venue was great, many of us felt that something had been left behind. “This return is more than just a location change. It’s a nod to the rich heritage and deep roots the holiday home industry has in this part of the world.  “Cottingham, located on the edge of Beverley and Hull, has long been a hub for caravan and lodge manufacturing. “Bringing the show back is a win for local businesses, the wider East Riding economy and everyone who remembers those chilly but cheerful September mornings with fondness! “It’s a return to tradition, but with a fresh outlook: The Hull & East Yorkshire Caravan Trade.” Other businesses confirmed to exhibit include: Love Holiday Homes Ltd, Delta Caravans Limited,  Europa Caravans (UK) Ltd, Leisure Park Internet Solutions LTD (LPIS), Eurofit Systems Ltd, Neill & Brown Global Logistics and Eltherington Group Ltd.Several of the manufacturers have announced the list of products they are displaying on their websites or LinkedIn.

This is your chance to get up close with the quality and attention to detail that set our homes apart. “Don’t miss the opportunity to speak to our team about bespoke as well.

Our bespoke service means we can be flexible with the layout, finishes and features, and we’ll build it to our exacting standards! “We’re super proud to be part of this trade show, its return to Cottingham is more than a location change.

Award-winning holiday park celebrates

An award-winning holiday park has unveiled a stunning £4.1 million transformation of its Country Club, following a devastating fire that destroyed its leisure and hospitality facilities. The new-look Country Club represents the biggest single investment in the 41-year history of Patrington Haven Leisure Park in East Yorkshire. In April last year the owners-only holiday park was dealt a major blow when fire ripped through the Country Club late at night, destroying the restaurant and bar and leaving much of the rest of the building with extensive smoke and water damage. The pool was also severely damaged, partly because fire crews had to pump water from it to douse the flames. Now, family-run Patrington Haven Leisure Park has turned disaster into triumph with the opening of facilities that its owners, the Sparkes family, believe rival anything seen on holiday parks across the UK.  The project has involved a full-scale rebuild of the Country Club, with the original structure completely stripped back and replaced. The new interior draws its design inspiration from luxury hospitality brands such as The Ivy and Celebrity Cruises, featuring elegant furnishings, vibrant artwork and a high-end finish throughout.  Managing Director Guy Sparkes said: “This was never just about repairing the damage. We decided to turn it into an opportunity to start afresh and invest in a very big way to create a special place for our holiday home owners and the wider community to use and enjoy. “We wanted to raise the bar for leisure facilities in a holiday park and I think we’ve done that. We’re incredibly proud of what’s been achieved. “The Country Club offers a high-quality environment, where people can unwind, recharge and enjoy time together. “But it’s really important to us that it still feels relaxed and homely. If you want to pop in for a coffee in your shorts and t-shirt, you’ll be made very welcome.” The refurbished venue includes Guy’s Bar and Restaurant, which serves a carefully-curated menu showcasing fresh, locally-sourced ingredients from across East Yorkshire, alongside The Gallery Coffee Lounge, a relaxing space where guests can unwind with a hot drink. The venue features hi-tech services, including robot servers that deliver snacks and drinks directly to customers’ tables, and high-spec audio-visual facilities. The indoor heated pool has been completely rebuilt, with new plant room equipment, pumps and mechanical systems throughout. It’s designed for both fitness and relaxation, with dedicated lanes, a whirlpool and hydrotherapy jets, as well as plenty of space for fun with the family. New luxurious poolside health suites offer a high-end wellness experience, including sauna and steam rooms, a coldroom, rainfall showers, heated loungers, new family changing rooms and more. The deluxe spa – used by holiday home owners, day visitors and local residents – and state-of-the-art, members-only gym have also been fully revamped, with the rebuild including a major expansion of the gym space, which is now among the largest of any UK holiday park. There is also a dedicated entertainment space with family-friendly features like shuffleboard, gaming machines and other fun activities for children and teens, giving younger visitors their own space to enjoy. All the facilities are now in use, other than the pool which will re-open on a phased basis from a date to be confirmed in August.  During the construction process, the Patrington Haven Leisure Park team hosted behind-the-scenes tours for holiday home owners, keeping the park’s tight-knit community informed and involved every step of the way. Jacqui George, who owns a holiday home with her husband Wilf, said: “A massive thank you to the whole team for all their hard work over the last year. The fire was such a terrible time for everyone on the park, but the team have dealt with it with such positivity and grace. “Since the Country Club re-opened we’ve indulged in some really tasty food, from the chicken gyros flatbread to the Friday pizza special, a lovely afternoon tea, Sunday Lunch, and loads of takeaway coffees in between.  “I’ve also enjoyed a massage and manicure in The Spa, which was amazing, as always. A huge well done to the whole team – it’s a credit to you all.”  The project has strengthened the park’s sustainability credentials, with a 20,000 sq ft rooftop solar array generating 285 kWh of clean electricity, and a 32 kW air source heat pump replacing the previous gas supply. Patrington Haven Leisure Park has won a series of awards recognising the quality of the experience, customer service and environment enjoyed by holiday home owners, including being named Holiday Park of the Year in the Remarkable East Yorkshire Tourism Awards (REYTAs) four times in recent years. The park has a 11-months-a-year licence for its community of owners of almost 500 static caravans, while the Country Club is open 364 days a year, with a buoyant trade from the local community and visitors to the nearby East Yorkshire coast, as well as holiday home owners, their families and guests. www.patrington-haven.co.uk

New Walk-In Shower Enclosures from Kinedo 

Kinedo has revamped its range of walk-in showers and added some stunning new options to the range.  The Solo range brings together a range of existing products in a variety of sizes with a range of door options, including pivot, bi-fold and sliding, as well as static and kick panels. A stunning new addition to the range is the Solo Design +. A single shower panel encased in a beautifully slim aluminium thin frame, the Solo Design + is available in 5 profile colours – white, black, brushed graphite, brushed stainless steel and brushed gold with matching reinforcement bar. There are 6 different glass types that can be specified depending on the panel chosen and the options are stunning. As open bedroom/bathroom design becomes popular, the popularity of shower privacy glass increases. Two options – Cosmos and Weave – feature frosted designs that lend themselves perfectly to this purpose.  Patterned glass is also making a comeback and the Art Deco glass from the Solo Design + range features a stunning gold pattern which partners beautifully with the brushed gold profile. The black Mondrian pattern version caters to the industrial trend pairing nicely with pretty much all profile options, whilst the fluted glass option makes for a spectacular statement piece in any bathroom.  With anti-limescale treatment on all glass panels, the new range is designed to be low maintenance and easy to clean. And whether with wet room flooring or a shower tray, the panels have been designed to work with both and feature reversible left/right installation (depending on the glass finish).  The new range of walk-ins are the perfect complement to Kinedo’s Kinewall panels and trays – enabling a whole solution to be purchased from Kinedo. https://www.sfasaniflo.co.uk/
