100 Years of Yorkshire Caravans as new Era begins

One of the UK’s leading independent leisure retailers is celebrating a landmark milestone as Yorkshire Caravans & Motorhomes marks its 100th anniversary in 2026.

 Founded in 1926, the business has evolved from humble Yorkshire roots into one of Britain’s largest and most respected independent caravan and motorhome retailers, serving customers nationwide from its flagship 34-acre destination site near Bawtry, Doncaster.

Today, Yorkshire Caravans & Motorhomes employs more than 100 people and generates annual revenues exceeding £50 million, firmly establishing itself as one of the standout success stories within both the Yorkshire business community and the wider UK leisure industry.

Over the last century, the company has built its reputation on exceptional customer service, industry expertise and outstanding value, helping generations of families discover the freedom and lifestyle of touring holidays.

The company now enters a new era under the ownership of Jason Cooper, whose long-term vision is focused on transforming the business from a traditional dealership into one of the UK’s most innovative integrated leisure groups over the next century.

As part of that vision, Yorkshire Caravans & Motorhomes plans to continue investing heavily across customer experience, aftersales, hospitality, digital retailing, premium leisure infrastructure and destination-led leisure concepts.

The company believes the future of the sector lies in creating immersive leisure ecosystems rather than simply selling vehicles, combining retail, servicing, storage, lifestyle, entertainment and tourism into a single integrated customer experience.

This broader long-term vision also aligns closely with the future development aspirations surrounding the Rossington Hall Estate, where complimentary leisure, hospitality and wellness concepts are being explored as part of a wider regional leisure strategy on the 200-acre estate.

Plans being explored by the group include expanded indoor motorhome showrooms, premium hospitality facilities, large-scale storage and aftercare operations, destination-led leisure experiences and the continued development of one of the UK’s most significant independent leisure businesses.

The celebrations later this month include a family fun centenary weekend at the Yorkshire Caravans & Motorhomes site on 27 and 28 June.

Jason Cooper, Owner of Yorkshire Caravans & Motorhomes said: “Reaching 100 years is a remarkable achievement, but perhaps the most exciting chapter still lies ahead. 

Our ambition is to build Yorkshire Caravans & Motorhomes into one of the UK’s leading leisure businesses, building on an incredible legacy whilst creating something that will continue to thrive for generations to come.”
