About Read Caravans

Read Caravans was founded in 1986 in the small village of Read near Burnley. There we traded new Avondale caravans and a small selection of used caravans until August 1994, when Mark and Denise Holden bought the company. They set about expanding sales and the business in general by installing a new shop and offices within a year. Business showed steady growth and with the introduction of Bailey Caravans late in 1996, we found the business had outgrown the site.

In December 1997 we moved business to our current 3 acre site at Whitebirk Industrial Estate. The following year saw the completion of our first purpose built workshops and Service Centre, which has now grown to an 8 bay Service Centre and a 6 bay Insurance and Damp Repair Shop, approved by all the UK Manufacturers.

Our Leisure Accessory Shop offers two floors packed with caravan accessories, calor gas and a separate Awning showroom to meet customer demands.

With our continued success, we are now a main dealership for Bailey, Sprite, Sterling and Swift caravans. The show ground now offers a lot of value choice caravans both new and pre-owned, with prices to suit every pocket. With prices so competitive our choice of caravans changes each week, making every visit different and interesting to the novice and the experienced caravanner. With this commitment to passing savings on to our customers, Read Caravans is now one of the busiest and most respected caravan dealers in East Lancashire, and customers keep returning year after year for our personal service and attention to our customers` needs.

We believe that because we are a family-run business and have a hand-picked team of staff, our level of commitment to our customers is second to none. This gained us the prestigious Caravan Dealer of the Year 2005 Award for the whole of the North of England for aftersales and service aand we followed this up by winning again in 2010 and taking the National prize as well.

Our ultimate aim is to provide a unique level of service, before, during and after any purchase.

"We will always do our very best to put the customer first!"
