Historic caravan retailer hitches new owner

A 100-year-old caravan and motorhome retailer has a new owner.

Yorkshire Caravans has been bought by Purosangue Limited.

Based on a 35-acre site in Bawtry, near Doncaster, the firm was founded in 1926 by petrol station operator Percy Smith.

Its sale was supported by Manchester-based La Salle.

Matt Dillon, of Didsbury-headquartered La Salle, said: “It was an absolute pleasure to work with the management team on this deal.

“The business has been in the Goulden family for 100 years, so it was a special deal to advise on.

“I wish the team at Purosangue all the best for the future.”

Legal advice on the deal was provided by Mills & Reeve.
