Materials shortages meant caravans ordered a year ago or more were only now being finished

The managing director said: “It’s with regret that we’ve had to make these redundancies – we’ve been responsible about it and we’ve gone through the proper process.

“We considered going down to a three-day week but that would have been worse for many of our staff who are on minimum wage who would struggle to survive, they’d rather be made redundant so they can look for a job elsewhere. “We’re not the only ones making redundancies, we’re in the news because we were the first but I know there’s others who are going to lay off staff too. There’s too much stock on the market. Twelve to 18 months ago there was a lot of pent up demand due to coronavirus so we were getting lots of orders in.

“We build to order, at the time we couldn’t get the materials so now those caravans are being built but the people who ordered them are under pressure because of their energy bills and so on.
