Thumbs Up For Popular Show

Last month’s World of Park & Leisure Homes Show at Stoneleigh Park drew holiday park visitors from all over the UK to see the latest leisure lodges and park homes from leading manufacturers.

In addition to the 50 lodges and homes on display, visitors also enjoyed a showcase of American touring static homes along with a range of cutting edge products and services from all areas of the leisure and park home industry.

Jo Turner, the show’s organiser said: “We felt it was the best show to-date. We received hugely positive feedback from manufacturers, exhibitors and visitors alike, and it certainly reflected the current buoyant mood within the industry.

“Demand for stand spaces at next year’s show are already at record levels,” she added.

The show got off to a flying start with the introduction of an exclusive trade preview day, welcoming trade visitors from across the country. The general consensus among exhibitors and trade visitors was positive, with many appreciative of the extra day for informal business meetings and consultations.

“We took the decision to add the trade day, following feedback from previous shows,” said Jo. “It gave park owners and operators the opportunity to spend quality time viewing the homes and discussing their requirements with the manufacturers and other trade representatives, not forgetting the chance to simply catch up with old friends.”

Exhibitor Kelly Flynn of Nuvex Ltd commented: “The extra day really made a difference and it was great to see trade customers enjoying a day out with time to catch up on what’s happening in the industry.” She added: “It was encouraging to hear how the UK holiday parks and campsite operators are feeling positive and confident about the industry as a whole at the moment.”
