Willerby sets the standard for green holiday homes with build overhaul

Hull holiday home manufacturer Willerby is introducing a groundbreaking green standard specification - cutting carbon emissions and making its range more energy efficient.

Billed as a first for the sector, the new GreEN Standard will apply to virtually all static caravans built from next month. Those leading the 1,100-strong team in the city have described it as the most significant innovation since double glazing and central heating was introduced.

Research has found energy consumption will be reduced by up to 28 per cent, with the standards set to be adopted in the design of all future models. It comes after a strong year for the £130 million turnover business, which has an order book stretching towards 2025.
