I'd just like to say that on behalf of myself, and my work colleauges at Jacksons, I'd like to thank you all for your kind words and good wishes. I've been really touched by some of the things I've read tonight. Thank you everyone.
We are definitly still trading, and its pretty much 'business as usual'considering what's happened. We are temporarily located in the showroom at the rear of West Midlands Caravans. You're all very welcome to pop down for a cuppa, and have a chat with the partners and staff. We have a limited amount of stock, but are taking orders for stuff. Early next week we will be moving into a much larger premises a bit further up into the estate. Its called the Silver Knight building. We will be here until the brand new purpose built store is finished on the old Jacksons site, hopefully before the Summer season next year.
Thank you all, best wishes and kind regards ..........Matt. (Caravan Spares & Accessories)
Excellent news Matt. Hope you had a good day today. Everyone seemed in good spirits at the start this morning. We are away for the half term week but will pop in the week after up at Silver Knight. Do pop a note on here to update us as to progress - you have strong support here!

Thank you to everyone for being so patient, but as yet, we've still not moved into the larger premises. This is mainly due to loads of 'red tape.' We're experiencing hold ups regarding the Council and insurance company. When we do get the 'all clear', the temporary building has then got to be cleaned and made ready for customers. We're still located in the West Midlands Caravans building, but stocks are growing nicely, (not too sure about Rock Pegs - best to phone we can order some - we do have some pegs though) and we can of course take orders for any items you may require. We hope to be moved into the other place as soon as we possibly can, which may be a few more days or a week or so. The telephone number is still the same, if you want to phone to check stock. (01676 54 08 78). As soon as we get a date to move into the new building, I will post up on here to let you all know.
Don't forget the OPEN WEEKEND at West Mids Caravans premises on Sat 19th & Sun 20th June.

Thanks for the info. and update Matt. Sorry things are taking a bit longer to sort than anticipated. I'll pop down as soon as I next get chance. Best wishes to all.
The 'Current State Of Play' is that the move to the building further into the estate has sadly 'fallen through' due to many factors. Mainly the building wouldn't be ready until the end of the year due to electrical problems & health & safety issues. We just couldn't wait that long. So at the moment, we're gradually moving into another building a little closer to the old one. The new temporary building is the same building where the toilets are located. We own that building and the builders are currently 'knocking it into shape' trying to turn it into a shop. Should be up and running in about a month give or take.
So in short, we're still in the same position, and not much further forward. We are still located in the West Midlands building, but the stock levels are growing all the time. If we haven't got what you're looking for, just ask and we may be able to order it for you.
Thanks to everyone for being so patient, we're doing all we can, but other people keep letting us down. Sometimes feels like we're taking one step forward and two back !
The brand new Jacksons building (on the old site) is looking like being finished at the start of the next season. Until then, we'll be trading as normal (ish) from the temporary building.
So sorry to hear about all the problems. What a nightmare. Haven't been down for a while. Have they started on the rebuild yet - I suppose it's still a bit soon for that. Promise I'll come down soon.
They've cleared the old site completely, and are now putting in the foundations etc. No sign of anything resembling a structure yet though, but I guess it's early days.
Hi everyone. You'll all be pleased to hear Jacksons has now actually moved to new temporary premises! ! We are now located in the building next to the old site (where the toilets are), so obviously we are now no longer located in the 'West Midlands Caravans' Building. Thankfully, we are now almost getting back to normality. Stock levels are growing nicely and we're becoming busier. From Monday (9th August) we are returning to the old working hours too. So, 10am -> 8pm Mon to Fri, just until the start of September. The phone number stays the same (01676 54 08 78)
Looking forward to seeing you all soon.
Many thanks, best wishes and kind regards...... Matt.
