ABI (UK)

What ABI (UK) does

ABI (UK) Limited is a privately held British manufacturer of handcrafted holiday homes and luxury lodges, headquartered and produced at a single factory on Swinemoor Lane in Beverley, East Yorkshire. Founded in 1964 and wholly owned by Hgate Holdings Limited, the company operates with a workforce of approximately 300 employees, many of whom have more than two decades of tenure. The product portfolio spans 11 holiday home models (entry-level through premium, in 10ft to 14ft widths and 2–3 bedroom configurations) and 3 luxury lodge models, with price points ranging from roughly £29,000 to over £169,000. All units are built to the National Caravan Council Certification Scheme (EN1647), with optional BS3632 residential specification on the Ingleton tier and above.

The business runs on a one-time hardware sales model, with ancillary revenue from spare parts and aftersales support flowing through the same channel. ABI does not sell direct to consumers; instead, distribution is executed exclusively through an approved network of holiday parks and dealerships spanning England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland, with a dedicated Park & Dealer Portal supporting B2B partners. Two primary customer segments are served: holiday park operators purchasing fleet and resale inventory, and individual holiday home owners buying through their chosen park or dealer. Marketing is conducted primarily through the company's website (with collection exploration, virtual tours, comparison tools, and brochure downloads), Instagram engagement under the #ABILife hashtag, and referral traffic routed to the dealer network.

Operationally, ABI has invested heavily in sustainability as a brand and cost differentiator: a 2013 biomass boiler cuts 3,676 tonnes of CO2 per year, Scope 1 and 2 carbon neutrality was achieved in 2021, one tree is planted per home built (23,000 trees to date), £10 per unit is donated to local charities (£250,000 cumulative since September 2021), Living Wage certification was secured in 2019, and a 2025 Veolia partnership delivers zero waste to landfill. Leadership sits with CEO Richard Jones and CFO Joanne Cowl. Revenue and unit shipment figures are not publicly disclosed.
