Butlins, Haven and Warner parent Bourne Leisure saw a 6% rise in pre-tax profits to £93.4 million in the year to December 2010, according to accounts filed at Companies House.
The private company, which is majority-owned by the Cook, Harris and Allen families, paid a £33 million dividend last year – a reduction on the £41 million the previous year.
Bourne increased capital expediture by 8% to £85.7 million as it invested in pitches, entertainment complexes and swimming pools at its Haven caravan parks and on general improvements at Warner Hotels and Butlins, according to the Sunday Times.
Turnover rose 1% to £802.7 million in 2010 and operating profits increased 4% to £123 million as margins improved and interest rates on its debt declined. There was a 4% increase in employees, bringing staff numbers up to about 11,000.
The company has previously said it has benefited from the staycation trend, which has seen more people take domestic holidays.
Hemel Hempstead-based Bourne was founded by Peter Harris in the 1960s with one caravan park. It acquired Haven, Warner and Butlins from Rank Group in 2000.
