Coachman Caravans has been celebrating a successful appearance at the International Caravan and Motorhome Show.

The event, which took place earlier this month in Birmingham's NEC, allowed the firm to sell 410 mobile homes.

This translated to sales of approximately £6.8 million, with new designs helping to boost the figure brought in by its traditional favourites.

Managing director Jim Hibbs explained it is a marked turnaround from a year ago, when the firm was suffering from the recession.

"The results from this year's NEC show are extremely positive and the best that we have ever experienced," he said.

Mr Hibbs added that the 2009 event felt like a turning point for the company and the industry.

He said the firm would be working hard to ensure next year is as successful as this.

Those who missed out on the Birmingham event can head to the Manchester Central Caravan and Motorhome Show, which takes place from January 21st 2010.
