Jackson family win Bailey Ancona after entering competition at NEC show
The winners of a brand new Bailey Ancona caravan, packed full of Truma goodies worth up to £25,000, have been announced following a competition launched during the Motorhome & Caravan Show 2016 earlier this year.
Over 7,000 people entered the competition organised by Truma UK during the course of the show which took place at Birmingham’s NEC in February, which included a number of high-spec Truma products including the Truma Combi heater, Aventa air conditioning unit, Truma iNet System, Mover XT and a SolarSet.
Truma’s UK managing director, Martin Fitzpatrick, chose the Jackson family at random by carrying out a lottery style selection process and the result could not have been better. The Jacksons – a family of four with another baby on the way – were elated to hear the news relayed over the phone. As keen campers using a four berth tent they had always aspired to buying a caravan and with Truma’s help this has been accomplished.
Emma Jackson said of the win: “We never win anything; I’m choked thank you so much. This is better than winning the lottery because you couldn’t have given us anything better. It will impact on our lifestyle for many years to come; as we will be able to spend many weekends and holidays away in the caravan! ”
Managing director, Fitzpatrick, spent a day with the family at their local dealership, Lowdhams in Huddersfield, to choose the family-friendly caravan as well as to assist with the handover of the vehicle weeks later to ensure everything was in place. The Jackson’s second trip in the caravan was spent on Truma’s UK site in South Derbyshire for the National Camping and Caravanning Weekend, and their next big adventure is sure to put their caravan skills to the test as they plan to take a two week trip to the South of France during the summer holidays.
Congratulations to the Jacksons from all of us here at CaravanTimes.
