Plans have been lodged to build a new facility for the manufacture of static caravans and mobile homes in Hull.

Ultimate Leisure Homes, which is part of the Dutch family-owned Griftdijk Group, is looking to develop three plots of land on the recently extended Burma Drive industrial estate.

The company already has a base at Burma Drive.

CEO Jorden Visser says he hopes the new factory site, which will double capacity and staff numbers, will be completed by the end of 2018. The 47,000ft² facility will feature production lines, allowing each unit to evolve from a rolling chassis to a finished product as it moves down the line.
