Business History
Meridian Business Sales are delighted to be able to offer to the market this superb and well established caravan and country park. The business has been in the careful hands of clients since 2002 who are only now offering the business for sale due to health reasons.

Since our clients took over the business they have embarked on a major refurbishment and modernisation program to all aspects including concrete hard standing plinths for all caravans, electric and gas hooks, BT phone lines and drainage. Additionally there have been cosmetic changes including the planting of mature shrubs and garden patios and the development of pleasant communal areas.

Our clients have continually improved the business by introducing new income streams such as the sale of gas and have also undertaken the refurbishment of the shop and café which has further increased the turnover and profits which shows on a year on year basis.

Our clients inform us that the current turnover is £370,644 pa with a gross profit of £194,476.
This is derived from the receipt of annual ground rents from owners, plus rent for 3 log cabins and 12 park owned vans let on a holiday or long term basis plus caravan sales. The park currently opens for 10 months of the year but our clients have informed us that planning is being sort for a full 12 month holiday licence.

Our clients have set aside a portion of the grounds which, if the new owners desired, could expand and create a 14 unit exclusive area with its own private gated access. This would contain 14 vertical twin units which can be used for long term letting or sold to private buyers plus another 3 vertical twin units overlooking the estuary.

Both options would massively increase the turnover and profits of this already established business. Meridian Business Sales urges early viewing of this superb and unique business opportunity.
