Impressive sales increase reported by Lunar following Motorhome & Caravan Show
Lunar has enjoyed a phenomenal response to it’s 2016 caravan and motorhome ranges with a 43 per cent year-on-year increase on orders secured at The Motorhome & Caravan Show, held at the NEC in Birmingham.
The Lancashire based manufacturer occupied over 1700m2 of stand space to display a choice of 65 different models across its Lunar and Venus caravan brands and Landstar motorhome range.
The sales performance follows on from a very successful show at The Caravan Extravaganza, held last month in Hull, where the company recorded an increase in orders of 75 per cent, as previously reported on CaravanTimes.
The largest percentage of sales (43 per cent) were for Lunar’s Clubman and Delta range, whilst the highest number of sales for an individual model was recorded for the all-new Quasar 574.
Lunar’s two-berth motorhome, the Landstar, also secured an increased number of sales, with all four models on display at the NEC.
Lunar’s national sales manager, Lee Roberts, said: “This has been one of the best starts to a season we have ever experienced. Sales across both caravans and motorhomes are considerably higher than last year’s record number, with many more potential customers making appointments to visit our dealers post show.
“It’s a huge boost for us, and for our design and manufacturing teams based back in Preston who work hard to deliver the best products possible for our customers to enjoy. It’s been a very difficult decade for everyone involved in caravan and motorhome manufacturing. The market is now in a state of recovery and the future is certainly looking much brighter” he added.
