Hi,

I went past what was Lowdhams Caravans at Newbury this afternoon and they have gone! The caravan Company is trading from the site.

This now seeems to leave Hymer unrepresented in the south of the country, if we had bought from Lowdhams I would not fancy the treck to Nottingham to get a warrany job carried out.

Mr UM

Thanks for that JT,

Do you think it was the weak pound that scuppered them?

Hi,

To clarify the situation Webbs Motorcaravans has bought part of the ex Lowdhams Reading site. This part of the site included the workshop, parts and shop facilities. They are authorised to carry out warranty repairs on Hymer caravans via our Nottingham branch who will administer claims and obtain the parts required etc. Servicing will also continue as normal and Webbs are keen to look after existing customers.

The other half of the site is a retail sales centre operated by the Caravan Company. The Caravan Company will utilise Webbs to prepare, service and repair caravans sold by them.

Lowdhams are committed to Hymer and will continue to import Hymers into this country via our Nottingham and Huddersfield branches.

We have produced a letter which will go to all existing Lowdham Reading customers and these should arrive via the post over the next few days.

If any Lowdham Reading customer needs help on specific issues that cannot be handled by the new company at Reading please contact our Nottingham branch on 0115 9663838.

Well done Ian Brown, we were just beginning to think about our next caravan (post children phase) and were going to have a look at Hymer's at Lowdenham Huddersfield. When i read this post i thought 'oh no, maybe not a good idea'. So i was really pleased to read the above statement from Mr Brown. Luckily we live quite close to Huddersfield and store near Huddersfield so this would be very convenient. I'm quite excited to have a look at Hymer's they do look a very good caravan.

Thanks for that Mr Brown

(And I didn't think I would be saying that this week),

You have added clarity to the situation and we will still consider a new Hymer next time.

Mr UM
