  The 800 panels are capable of generating 333 kilowatts of energy, which is equivalent to approximately two thirds of the annual power requirement of the facility. Bailey has invested £400k in the installation, with costs expected to be recouped over the next four years.

• Say hello to the new 2021 ranges from Bailey and Swift!

  Production is now in full swing on the new 2021 Bailey and Swift ranges, welcome news to many caravanners who have been patiently awaiting these. We’re already taking orders so get in touch soon to ensure you don’t miss out!

  When the coronavirus pandemic swept our nation in the spring, the lockdown period that followed meant caravan production had to stop. The factories closed for over four months, with the remainder of the planned 2020 builds having to be abandoned. This led to a shortage of caravans over the summer period when showrooms reopened, and these shortages may continue into 2021 as social distancing measures and reduced staff numbers will leave manufacturers unable to produce as many vehicles as usual.
