Years of the Whitford family
in business in Burnley
The Whitford Family have now been in business in the Lancashire town of Burnley for over 100 years – firstly as solid fuel merchants, which we still are today. Burnley became the first smokeless zone in the country in the late 1960’s, making solid fuel unfashionable – and this is where Whitfords Caravan Centre began.
The late Mr & Mrs Whitford, who were keen caravanners, saw a gap in the market for self-tow hire of caravans. They began to provide touring caravan holidays for people throughout the country, from the site which we still occupy today.
The company is now headed by Mrs Connie Jackson, Mr Whitford’s daughter, along with her son Jonathon, husband Keith and a team of dedicated staff – and now handles anything to do with touring caravans: sales, accessories, servicing, repairs and much more.
The family business begins in Burnley — a trade we still carry on today.
Self-tow caravan hire and touring holidays, from the same site we occupy now.
Sales, servicing, repairs, accessories and storage — run by the Whitford family and team.
In their words
Best service and hand over guidance in 46 years of caravanning! Nothing has been too much trouble for this wonderful family team.
