Newsletters from Derby Motorhomes
Hello again to all our customers and friends, old and new, as the 2024 season begins to unfold. Thank you too for taking the time to read my newsletter and as always, thank you for the kind comments made by lots of you too; your feedback and comments are very much appreciated and help to define us as a business. My aim, as always, is to offer an over-view of Derby Motorhomes with updates specific to us, Auto-Sleepers and the motorhome industry as a whole.
So, I’ve asked before and will continue to do so, if there is a particular subject or topic that any of you would really like me to touch-on, please contact me, you never know, if it’s a subject that I know a little about and it’s appropriate, then I would be happy to include it in future updates and features.
Customer Features Page
One thing I really would like to do this year is start a page or section, possibly initially updated every couple of months or so, that contains contributions written by you; my idea is to have an interesting news page that has stories and photographs written and contributed by you, our customers. These may well be interesting journeys, problems encountered, fabulous camp-sites, interesting stops, anything in fact – send in something and we’ll see but I would love to read your stories and see your photo’s; I’m sure others would too!
NEC
Well, yet again, this month I know exactly where to begin – it’s the NEC February show. I can’t believe any us don’t know that it’s that time of year again. For our part we will be staffing the Auto-Sleepers stand as usual and looking forward to meeting friends old and new yet again.
The show runs from Tuesday 13th and ends on Sunday 18th of February, I’m sure there will be lots of visitors and plenty of business completed.
There will be appearances throughout the week from a host of other well-known celebrity guests.
Parking is free for show visitors and entry tickets are priced from £12.50
Mike Smith
I will be on the Auto-Sleepers stand at the NEC all week as will Mike Smith.
Mike has spent spent the last 27 years in sales with Ford, a well-known car-supermarket and BMW too but finally, as a Broadway owner himself, Mike simply couldn’t resist the lure of the leisure industry!
Mike really understands motor homers and more importantly, what really makes us all “tick”; he’s recently back from taking a year out, touring Europe in his Broadway EL Duo so, please come and find him and get to know about Auto-sleepers latest range..
Showroom Display
For those of you reading about Derby Motorhomes for the first time and may not be familiar with us, we aim to have a complete display of each new Auto-Sleepers model produced, in our indoor showroom, at all times.
There will possibly always be an exception, for reasons beyond our control or operational reasons but we find that potential customers prefer to travel to visit us as our showroom and dealership in general is a friendly place to be. Unlike the larger shows which can be very busy and for some quite intimidating, all of our staff are friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable.
Refer a Friend or Relative Scheme
Finally, a reminder about our “Refer a Friend or Relative” scheme.
This has been running for about a year now and has proved very popular so, if anyone has friends or family members thinking about a change of motorhome or looking for the first time, please remember that we have a referral scheme in place.
So, if you would like to earn some free Marks and Spencer shopping vouchers, please ask for our referral vouchers if you don’t already have them. Simply fill your details in, pass them on to your friend or family member and once they have placed their order and collected their new motorhome, hey-presto! £100 worth of Marks and Spencer vouchers are yours! Please have a look at our website for more information.
A big thank you to all our customers and friends (as we like to think of you). Without your support our business would be meaningless.
We really do appreciate your continued trust and support – your messages are most welcome as are the cakes and other “treats” that so many of you continue to bring in to the dealership; we really are so very lucky to have such lovely customers.
Thank you for taking the time to read my latest newsletter and as always, I look forward to meeting you all again very soon.
Tim Lemon – Managing Director
