Swift Leisure

It celebrated its Golden 50th year in 2014,[1] with the launch of SMART HT, the first fully composite caravan without any timber and ply in the body, and using a patent pending aluminium jointing systems and a patent pending floor construction.

[1] The company started with the single Swift brand of caravans, based on a distinctive tri-front window design (all of which opened – unique at the time), which also allowed easy see through to the rear for the driver whilst travelling.

Since late 2008 Swift Leisure has dropped the Abbey and Ace brands of touring caravans.

[2] The company moved manufacturing from Hedon Road, Kingston upon Hull to Dunswell Lane, near Cottingham in 1970.

In the early 2000s the company moved to an adjacent site in Cottingham to allow expanded production facilities.
