New Range of Premium Holiday Homes Launched
Omar Group announce that production has commenced of a new range of premium holiday homes, in a new factory outside Ringwood in Dorset. Regal Holiday Homes (including certain assets and all the intellectual property), was acquired by the Group in 2020. The acquisition was significantly delayed by the pandemic, however this gave pause for thought, allowing the Group time to consider how they could maximise potential and re-launch the business.
The new five acre, 54,000sqft facility (Ferndown House), on the Woolsbridge Industrial Estate, near Ringwood in Dorset, will give the new Regal team the opportunity, using three production lines, to manufacture best-in-class premium holiday homes in an efficient and effective manner. Regal Leisure Homes (as it will now formally be known), commenced production on the 26th July and will be building a range of 12, 13 and 14 ft wide, premium single holiday homes. Some historic model names have been retained but the five new leisure home models are, in effect, all brand-new for 2022.
An industry leading team have been assembled to lead Regal Leisure Homes. The new team includes Nigel Heslington, previously Managing Director for Regal Holiday Homes and BK Bluebird; Mike Clifford (Technical and Design), Mike also has a long heritage with Regal Holiday Homes and BK Bluebird, and Anysia Hopkins (Design Manager), who was previously with Regal Holiday Homes.
Nigel, Mike and Anysia will be joined by Darren Langston who will join the team before the end of the year as Business Development Director. Darren has extensive industry experience including Sales Director roles at Pathfinder and Sunseeker, and periods as a Sales Manager for Atlas and ABI.
Graeme Craig, Omar Group Chief Executive commented: “This is not only exciting news for parks and customers who have come to love the quality and design of the Regal product, it is also an exciting move for Omar Group, it enables us to provide support and facilities for our customers in the south of England. This fabulous new production facility, significantly expands the Groups’ production capability, giving us 500,000sqft of production facilities and the ability to service as a Group, £160m worth of business.”
