Caravan storage covers have been an indispensible accessory for caravans for many years, but how did the highly successful company Specialised Covers start out and what are its plans for expansion?
In this video Caravan Times talks to Founder and Chairman Douglas Long and General Manager Paul Smith about the origins of the company, how the design technique has now become a fine art, and why their tailored caravan cover is so beneficial to protect your caravan.
We find out about the most popular products, the warranty agreements and how Specialised Covers was the first company to produce a tailor-made cover which took into account tow bars, sun roofs and aerials.
We also find out about the expansion from within the company – how the number of employees rose – and their plans to introduce an apprenticeship scheme.
Paul also gives an insight into what we can expect from Specialised Covers in the future.
Thanks to Dickinson Caravans for their help with this video.
