Choose Leisure Keeps it under Wraps

 

Mum and Dad, Nick and Sarah Taylor, really outdid themselves Christmas shopping this year when they surprised their daughters with a motorhome!

The Kent family took delivery of their Elddis Autoquest 160 motorhome just before Christmas - but they had to unwrap it first! Excited daughters, Shannon and Rebecca said: "We didn't think Dad would really do it!"

Good one Nick and Sarah!

We've bought the former Brownhills site next door

Big news for us, and our customers, is that we've just purchased the site next door, formerly owned by Brownhills Motorhomes. We'll move in gradually, as the site needs clearing, but we're all really excited about the future opportunities this purpose-built facility will bring. With more space, a fantastic indoor showroom, beautiful forecourt and state of the art workshops, we're confident you'll love our new premises as much as us.

To customers past, present and future - THANK YOU for your support in getting us this far.

They Come From Here, They Come From There...

This customer came 750 miles to visit us here at Choose Leisure - and this is his third visit!

 

Being located right at the ‘gateway to Europe’ we’re used to customers’ scheduling service and repairs with us on their way through but this has to be something of a record...

 

Mr Pitts drives all the way from his home on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides to visit family near to us in the South East corner of England. And he books his motorhome in to our workshops whilst he’s here.

 

In his own words: “The genuine family atmosphere and honest appraisal of any issues has given me the reassurance of knowing any job will be well done.”

 


What A Birthday Present!

Mig Olyer really knows how to get it right when it comes to Birthday presents for her husband – she bought him a motorhome!

 

Ex-motor trader, George Olyer, was delighted with his wife’s gift, a 4 berth Autocruise Starfire. Now retired, George already has an impressive array of motor vehicles accumulated throughout his years of dealing in Kent. And now he’s got one more to add to his collection.

 

Here’s wishing both of them many happy holidays in their new purchase.

Editor's note: It's my Birthday soon...!

Where We’re At...

We’ve been busy analysing our geographical sales figures and thought we’d share the summarised results with you – you’ll see we get about a bit! These are the main areas where our motorhome and caravan customers live who’ve either bought from us, sold via our brokerage scheme or had service or repair work done over the last year. As expected the bulk of our custom, particularly for service work, comes from our local area but a surprising amount of brokerage and buying customers travel a significant distance…
