About Swift Group
Swift Group is Europe's largest leisure vehicle manufacturer and the UK's number one caravan producer. Founded in 1964 by Ken Smith in Hull, East Yorkshire, the company built its first caravan — a 10ft tourer called 'The Ten' — and sold it for £289. Today, Swift operates from a large factory complex at Cottingham, near Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire, with annual turnover exceeding £200 million.
Swift's growth came through organic expansion and strategic acquisitions: Abbey (1992), Sprite and Eccles (1994), and Ace (2001). After more than 60 years of continuous production, Swift remains a privately held, family-oriented company with deep roots in British manufacturing.
Every Swift caravan includes the Swift Command intelligent control system, developed with Sargent Electrical and standard across all ranges. Swift Command monitors and controls lighting, heating, water, power, temperature, humidity, and vehicle location via a touchscreen panel and companion app (Bluetooth on-site, internet remote access). Higher ranges feature a 7-inch LCD touchscreen; mid-range models use a 4-inch LCD; entry-level Sprite models use a simpler 12V control panel.

SMART Plus Construction
The technology behind every Swift caravan
Introduced in 2012, Swift's SMART bodyshell is completely timberless. It uses a PURe (polyurethane) frame, polystyrene insulation, and GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) outer and inner skins — all manufactured in-house (Swift is the only UK caravan manufacturer with its own GRP production). The acronym stands for Strong (impervious to water ingress), Modern (CNC-precision assembly), Aerodynamic (CFD-designed profile reducing drag by up to 20%), Resilient (balanced GRP panels, more impact-resistant than aluminium), and Tested (Millbrook proving ground, Truma cold chamber testing to -15°C).
