A KEIGHLEY firm has launched a new product.

Kiravans, an online Volkswagen campervan parts retailer, has introduced a rear-doors awning designed to add extra space.

The Barn Door Sail is a three-piece, aluminium pole system that clips to the van door latches.

Kiravans director, Robert McCandless, said: "The awning – which has been designed and manufactured exclusively for us – provides shelter at the back end of the van and really opens up usable space."

The company, formed in 2005, is continuing to expand.

Last year saw a 50 per cent increase in turnover and two e-commerce assistants have been recruited.

In recent months the firm has also relocated to a larger warehousing unit in Dalton Lane and opened a second distribution depot in Cornwall to serve a growing south-west market.
