Sales almost doubled for Hull caravan and lodge manufacturer Atlas Leisure Homes in a year when it significantly expanded its operations to meet staycation demand.
The company’s turnover soared from £37.9 million to £71.9 million, an increase of virtually 90 per cent on the previous record period, with operating profit increasing from £871,937 to £3.8 million. Atlas opened a new production line and machine shop as it added capacity, while a second management buy-out in five years also completed.
Since taking on the Sutton Fields site in late 2020, more than £1 million has been invested, with employee numbers now up from 279 to 430 year-on-year. Most have been added at the former McBride plant, while the office team has also been bolstered considerably at the Wiltshire Road head office.
