Caravan owners who have shelled out thousands of pounds for their mobile holiday home often face the dilemma of what to do to protect it over winter.
However, one firm believes it has found the answer and is enjoying the success of offering a sought-after service.
Darlington’s Lingfield Warehousing offers owners the opportunity to lock their caravan away securely over the colder months, protecting it not just from the elements but any would-be thieves or vandals.
The company, based at Lingfield Point Business Park, recently welcomed its 50th customer in less than six weeks, according to the Northern Echo.
“Talking to customers and tailoring the package to suit their needs is at the heart of our ethos,” said spokesperson Sophie Carter, describing how the firm achieved its success.
Caravan enthusiasts may recognise the classic nature of the US Airstream Silver Bullet model, belonging to Kerry Lewis, that took up the 50th berth in the indoor storage facility.
Ms Lewis is a mobile beautician and uses the caravan as part of her award-winning business.
Meanwhile, caravan retailer Discover Leisure has revealed that it suffered pre-tax losses of £16.7 million in the year to August 31st.
