This business was established in 2006 and in this time has grown to become one of the leading suppliers of nearly new motor homes and caravans in Essex, as well as offering year round secure storage. The business trades from a substantial and secure leasehold 2 acre site, with the front of the site dedicated to the sales of motor homes and caravans and a large area to the rear of the site used for storage. The business also offers servicing, repairs and MOT’s for the motor homes, as well as a range of basic accessories and essentials for the motor home and caravan enthusiast.
A highly reputable and well-known business, this company not surprisingly attracts custom from many miles around and can boast customers that have been with this business since day one. A family business, customer service and value for money have been the key to success in the past and the business takes great pride in making sure customers enjoy every part of buying and using their motor home or caravan.
With sales of its own stock of motor homes and caravans, plus commission from the sale on behalf of private owners reaching approximately 50 units per annum, the vendor feels that an increase in stock would significantly increase this number. As such it represents an excellent opportunity for a buyer new to the sector wanting to acquire an easy to run, established and consistently profitable business or to an existing dealership that wishes to increase its presence in the marketplace and expand geographically.
