History of Harrison Leisure UK

Harrison Leisure UK have many years of experience within the caravanning business – in 2007 we are proud to celebrate our 37th anniversary.

We take pride in our heritage. George Harrison founded the business with only one caravan in 1970. He grew the business steadily from here, extending into the North East and building up his stock to offer caravans for sale from over 32 different suppliers.

Then saw the bold move into residential parks seven years later, with the purchase of Cringles caravan park in Silsden. This was followed with other parks in Preston, Hartlepool, Huddersfield and Heysham. A holiday park in Blackpool soon followed these.

Since these early days, we have owned a number of residential and holiday parks all around the North of England.

These days, the business is now under the direction of the second generation of Harrisons and is managed by George’s three sons: George, William and Robert.

The Harrison family, as working directors, have developed the business to its current position of four holiday parks - three luxury parks in the Southport area and a recent expansion into Cumbria.

And in recent years the business has grown considerably, culminating in the significant expansion of the sales division.

Harrison Caravan Sales has grown from a small operation which offered static holiday homes for sale on our sites, to now boast 130,000 sq. ft of dedicated display area, showcasing over 200 new and used static caravans, tourers and motorhomes for sale. And we have recently been awarded the dealership for Fendt touring caravans and motorhomes, becoming the sole importer for the German manufactured caravans.
