dbpprop:abstract
  • Cosalt plc is a diversified marine safety and leisure company, based in Grimsby, Lincolnshire. The name Cosalt is a derivative of the company's original title The Great Grimsby Coal, Salt and Tanning Company. Formed in 1873 as a co-operative of fishing vessel owners, it was a communal best-value support services company involved in servicing and supplying a variety of products and services for fleets, fishing, and other vessels, providing: Salt - to preserve the food and fish caught Tanning - to waterproof sails and rope Coal - to fire the vessels and galleys Clothing The communal model grew around a number of other fishing and later UK marine ports, before the company was bought out by the son of one of the original founders, businessman (John) Carl Ross of the Ross Group. The company floated in 1971, and was chaired by his son; and then grandson David Ross, co-founder of the Carphone Warehouse. The original businesses has now developed into marine and industrial safety centre, and diversified into other markets, including: Workwear, Corporatewear, Schoolwear, Childrenswear, Caravan holiday homes and leisure custom homes. Through its association with Grimsby, Cosalt was a major player in the UK caravan market, with ownership of major brands including: ACE, Abbey, Bessacarr, Cotswold and Sprite. However, in the 1990's they began concentrating on static caravans, and sold off many of the touring caravan brand to the rival Swift Leisure. Cosalt today currently operates through two divisions: Leisure Products and Industrial Services.
