A caravan company has reopened with its old team after 18-months closure.

Hitchin Caravans has opened its site on Cambridge Road next to Hitchin Garden Centre under the new ownership of Venture Caravans and original manager Matthew Pearson and his team.

The company closed after the death of Matthew’s brother Richard who along with Matthew set up the business 25 years ago, but is now back specialising in recent model pre-owned caravans as well as new caravans and motorhomes and accessories.

Mr Pearson said he was delighted to have the opportunity to put the company back on the map.

“The Venture Caravans family and I have been friends and in the business together for a long time, from doing the shows to popping round for a cup of tea, I couldn’t think of a better partnership.

“Our valued customers have been incredibly loyal over the years and I am looking forward to providing them with the service and the expertise they would expect. It’s like coming home and it feels good to be back.”

Venture Caravans managing partner, Dave Brown said the collaboration provides the perfect opportunity to extend the company’s industry knowledge and expertise.
