OXFORD CARAVAN CENTRE LIMITED, OX9 2LH : Companies House Number 00914745

Executive summary

Oxford Caravan Centre Limited demonstrates financial performance that significantly exceeds typical independent caravan dealership benchmarks, with net assets growing from £852k to £2.59M over nine years and a current ratio of 2.19x that provides substantial operational resilience. The business benefits from its position within the Swindon Caravan Centre group, which provides purchasing power, geographic coverage, and shared infrastructure across three Thames Valley and Wiltshire locations. While the stock-intensive nature of caravan retail and emerging cyclicality risks from interest rate pressures and cost-of-living constraints warrant monitoring, the company's strong cash position, consistent retained earnings growth, and 57-year trading history position it well within a sector undergoing consolidation and competitive disruption.
