The latest from dealers around the UK
Erwin Hymer Centre’s clean dozen
Staffordshire-based dealer Erwin Hymer Centre Travelworld has installed 12 EV charging points at its premises just off junction 14 of the M6.
Four of the points are available for customer use via the Monta app. The others are being used by staff benefiting from the company’s fleet of electric and hybrid vehicles.
This latest development at the dealership follows initiatives such as a 100% renewable wood pellet burning system, solar panels, LED lighting and motion sensors, and more. Erwin Hymer Centre Travelworld Operations Director Erik Baxendale says: “The investment in electric vehicle charging points aligns with our values to reduce our environmental footprint. This is a long-term investment that will have a positive and sustainable impact on our carbon footprint and overall utility costs for years to come.” You can find out more at motorhomes.co.uk.
Spinney acquires Broadlane Kenilworth
As well as the recent news of Spinney’s take-over of White Arches, just before that, the company had negotiated the purchase of the Broadlane Leisure site near Kenilworth, Warwickshire.
This strengthens Spinney’s motorhome arm, as it will continue to operate as a motorhome and caravan sales and aftersales centre.
Broadlane will focus on its premises on the outskirts of Alcester, Warwickshire, where, along with both new and used motorhomes, accessories and awnings, it has an exclusive relationship with local bespoke Volkswagen campervan converter CampAway.
With the promise that ‘no two campers are the same’, CampAway is initially a three-model range, including the Classic, the Vista and the recently introduced Casa, the latter designed for solo use and coming complete with onboard toilet and external shower.
Broadlane was founded as a family-run leisure vehicle retailer more than 50 years ago.
