Bailey extends its UK dealer network

Bailey of Bristol has added another half a dozen dealers to its UK dealer network, as it reports “significant growth” in its market share over the past year.

The motorhome brand has added Stowford Leisure (North Devon), Pearman Briggs in Gloucestershire, Greentrees Caravan Store in Norfolk, Spinney Motorhomes (Staffordshire), Yorkshire Caravans (South Yorkshire) and Richard Baldwin Motorhomes (West Yorkshire) to its Approved Bailey Retailer network.

Bailey said: “Approved Bailey Retailers are the only outlets authorised to sell new Bailey leisure vehicles and are the best place to view quality pre-owned Bailey motorhomes.

“They provide customers with a full support service, backed by the manufacturer, and are approved to carry out all Bailey warranty work and vehicle servicing.”

Richard Baldwin Motorhomes managing partner Garry Baldwin commented: “Since expanding the size of our dealership by almost 50% a few years ago and opening the new six-bay, award-winning service centre, an opportunity has arisen for us to expand our range of new motorhomes.”

“RBM has long been an admirer of Bailey as a manufacturer; we have always done very well with their motorhomes when we take them in as used vehicles. With them being a well-established British manufacturer, they fitted perfectly with our values and our business model.”

The news follows Bailey’s recent launches at the October NEC Show, which included the unveiling of the three model Alora range, as well as the debut of the Endeavour and its EV concept counterpart model.

In other dealer news, Travelworld has taken on Laika, while, Marquis Leisure has had to temporarily close its Sussex branch following a fire.

Nick’s first caravanning memory is his younger brother falling out of the bunk bed above him. That was over half a century ago. Around a decade later, his first driving experience was taking the family campervan across a field on his uncle’s farm. He’s now well into his fourth decade as a journalist specialising across the whole leisure vehicle sector. In that time, he’s worked for a wide variety of publications, testing literally thousands of vehicles and visiting almost as many different places throughout the UK, Europe and even beyond. These days, he’s never happier than when he’s out reviewing new or pre-owned motorhomes or researching and writing touring articles for Practical Motorhome. Or, failing that, you may well find him pitching near you in his latest campervan, a Volkswagen California (more often than not with his short, suffering partner, Lin, and crazy sprocker spaniel, Bonnie).
