Ref.AM138
Location Bedfordshire
Asking Price £ 140,000

This family run business was established in 1995 and in this time has grown to become one of if not the leading supplier of nearly new caravans and motor homes, plus tents trailers and all relevant accessories in its area. The business trades from a quality site on a 5 year renewable lease until 2012.The property has a large hard standing area for display of caravans and motor homes plus a well equipped and stocked accessories shop providing to its customers caravan accessories covers, all items the customer would ever need for their caravan from cutlery, dinner sets and kettles to chemical toilets, aqua rolls and waste-masters. The business stocks a large selection of security products including hitch-locks, wheel-clamps, leg-locks and security posts, plus a large range of replacement parts including jockey wheels, lights, door locks etc.

The business also offers to its customer base not only caravan and motor homes but camping equipment to include a good range of Coleman and Quest tents from small dome to large family and also a wide selection of roll mats, airbeds (single & double) and sleeping bags both adult and child. The customer can also choose from a range of camping stoves, lights and cool boxes.

The business also offers to its customers a full trailer purchase service and accessories so that the customer can take the fun with them by carrying tents, extra luggage, bikes or sports equipment on their holiday. Trailers to carry heavy duty or cumbersome loads such as building materials, garden waste, furniture. The business sells and stocks Daxara trailers from Indespension plus having a large stock holding of optional extras to choose from to make the trailer fit for every need. Trailer Hire is also available.

Expansion Potential
In recent years the vendor embarked on a full marketing and advertising push that brought large numbers of new customers to the business and these names are still in the database. The business has scope to handle larger customer numbers, so to resume the advertising and marketing now that there are definite signs of the caravan, camping and motor home holiday is again a growth market.
