UK Holiday Home Manufacturer Closes After Entering Administration with 80 Jobs Lost
Frazer Ulrick of Westgates Restructuring Limited has been appointed administrator as the company faces uncertainty over its future and customer warranties.
On Monday, September 7, Hull-based manufacturer Sunseeker Holiday Homes entered administration, putting 76 jobs at risk. Frazer Ulrick of Westgates Restructuring Limited was appointed administrator.
Insider Media explained the company experienced cash flow difficulties from rising costs and payment terms, while competing against larger manufacturers selling stock at marginal losses.
Despite directors stating in May that the company had "adequate resources to continue trading for at least 12 months," the firm collapsed just four months after accounts approval on May 27.
A sales process for the Hull manufacturing site and brand is now underway, with administrators having 8 weeks to formulate proposals determining whether the business is rescued, liquidated, or dissolved.
This collapse follows a difficult year for the British high street, with Accell Group also entering administration, though retailers including Aldi and Superdrug announced new store openings for 2026.
