For more than six decades, Hagans Leisure has grown from a small family idea into a trusted leisure business, while staying true to the same values it was built on.
In 1961, Jim Hagan, his wife Peggy and their family bought a second-hand touring caravan to use while travelling to show pedigree pigs. What began as a practical solution soon became something much bigger. Caravan sales started from the family farm, followed by caravan hire on the North Coast, and the foundations of Hagans Leisure were born.
Jim and Peggy Hagan begin selling caravans from the family farm after discovering an opportunity through their own experience of touring.
Caravan sales and hire continue to expand, building a loyal customer base and establishing the Hagan name within Northern Ireland's growing leisure industry.
Hagan's Caravans becomes Hagan's Leisure Ltd, marking a major new chapter as the family expands into holiday parks and the wider leisure industry.
The business continues to invest in new facilities, holiday accommodation, touring, holiday home ownership and park improvements year after year.
The Ballyclare site has grown, with Hagans Motorhomes offering new and used motorhomes, touring caravans and holiday homes, alongside workshop services and an extensive accessories shop.
Today, Hagans Leisure remains proudly owned and managed by Sam Hagan and family. The business may have grown, but the values behind it remain the same: personal service, trusted advice and helping our customers enjoy the leisure lifestyle.
Generations of the Hagan family have helped shape the business from its beginnings in 1961 to today.
From your first enquiry to years after your purchase, good service remains at the heart of what we do.
We continue to invest in our parks, vehicles, facilities and services while staying true to our roots.
Being a family business also means supporting the community around us. Over the years, Hagans Leisure has been proud to support local sport, including Ballyclare Rugby Club and Mossley Ladies Hockey Club. It's our way of giving something back to the communities that have supported our family business throughout the generations.
Hagans Leisure now brings together holiday parks, holiday home ownership, motorhome and caravan sales, workshop services, accessories and storage.
From helping a family choose their first touring caravan to welcoming generations back to our parks year after year, we're proud to still be part of our customers' adventures.
And just like Jim and Peggy in 1961, we still believe the best journeys begin with good people, great service and somewhere special to go.
