We’ve been creating bespoke, tailored covers since 1981.

Specialised Covers was established in 1981 by husband and wife team Carole and Douglas Long who saw a gap in the market for tailored car covers.

In 1995 we had been approached on a number of occasions to extend our range to caravan covers so initially Specialised Accessories was established and became our caravan company. After a number of successful years we felt it was sensible to bring the caravans under the one umbrella with the Buisness growing. In 2012 the Towing cover range was launched offer our customer base a tailored towing solution.

All our covers are manufacture in our West Yorkshire factory based in Shipley. We moved to these premises in 2007 and extend the site to 32000 square feet in 2019 after we out grew the original footprint.

Yes, pretty much anything as long as we have the dimensions and the right fabric for the job we will always give it a go. We have worked on a number of MOD projects, Satellite domes for cruise ships, Land speed cars, Machinery covers and even Ice bath toppers for Brass Monkey. We love a challenge and with design and production being managed in the UK on one site it allows us to design, prototype efficiently and with speed. Offer our customers a bespoke service.

They are substantial with many one off vehicles! We have been collecting patterns since the early eighties from collectors and royalty. The car covers currently stands at over 30000 vehicles with the caravan at over 20000 however most caravan’s have a range of products available so this will be more that 80000 patterns for the caravan alone.
This doesn’t cover all our unique patterns we have for an array of items from body protection, machinery, helicopters, aircraft and ice baths.

Yes, the business is owned and run by the original family who established it in 1981. Carole and Douglas have now retired and Katie their daughter is the current MD. We have been very lucky to have their knowledge and stewardship through the last 4 decades and look forward to growing and expanding the business further.
