Swift Group have all-time record start to the 2015 Season

 

Swift Group have all-time record start to the 2015 Season

Swift Group, the UK’s leading touring caravan, motorhome and holiday home manufacturer are celebrating an all-time record-breaking start to a new season with sales for the Groups touring caravans, motorhomes and holiday homes totalling well over £45 million since the season started this September.

 

The all-new Rio proved to be very popular at the show

 



Success started with the largest ever Holiday Home order placed in September and has continued with outstanding sales at the recent Motorhome and Caravan Show held at the NEC in Birmingham that closed on the 19th October.

 

The Groups motorhome sales were a massive 40% higher than last year with good sales across all sectors, including the top of the range Kon-tiki models.

 

 







                                 The top of the range Kon-Tiki saw exceptional sales levels        

 

Swift Group invested heavily in their Motorhome ranges for the 2015 season with the addition of SMART construction in all Coachbuilt ranges, completely new styling for the Esprit and Bessacarr ranges and a sporty new Compact Rio range. With the launch of the new Fiat cab and Bolero joining Kon-tiki with Black Edition status, the ranges have clearly tempted a wide range of buyers.

Touring caravan sales were also very close to record level performance with key star performers, Sprite up 80% and the recently launched flagship Elegance and Continental ranges, built with SMART HT construction now requiring extra production slots to meet demand.

 



 

Swift Elegance and Sterling Continental ranges are so popular additional production slots have been needed to meet demand

 

“With promising sales and interest early on in the year and a product line-up that we felt was very strong across all market sectors, we were optimistic going into the NEC show but still a little unsure about the level of recovery in the economic market. We are delighted with the results, which show a highly encouraging sign of resurgence in the caravan market, right from entry level to the top of the range. Sales have been so good our order book is full well into next year,” Commercial Director Nick Page commented.

Come and join Swift Group at the Motorhome and Caravan Show - 14-19 October NEC

Come along and have a demonstration. The S-Pod is ideal for weekend breaks or short stays. To find out more visit: http://www.swiftgroup.co.uk/holiday-homes/s-pod

THE ADVENTURE

 

Follow the adventures of Sue & Geoff Arnott in Iceland: 15 active volcanoes, 10,000 waterfalls, 800 hot springs, 11,500 square km of glaciers, 10,000,000 puffins, exploding geysers, the Northern Lights and the Midnight Sun...not a bad place to try out the newest ideas in caravan construction. This is a diary of their journey towing the new Swift Elegance 570 around the perimeter of Iceland with their VW Touareg in the company of a few other fellow adventurers, mostly in motorhomes, it has to be said. Visit their Blog here http://icelandbycaravan.blogspot.co.uk/

 

Look out for some stunning images of the Elegance 570 in Iceland!

 

 

 

THE CARAVAN

 

 

The Elegance is the new flagship caravan within the Swift range, built with SMART HT construction. It has an exterior and interior style that exudes quality to make it the definitive touring caravan range.

The four model line up benefits from what is probably the most extensive research and testing programme to bring you a truly 21st century range that uses technologically advanced components and construction methods.

Enjoying meticulous attention to detail and a high quality finish, the flagship Elegance range is in a class of its own. Professionally designed interiors give a modern style to supreme specification.
The warm and welcoming soft furnishings create a sophisticated yet relaxed ambience anyone would feel at home in. There is also a luxury leather and 'Impala' option as shown above.
Subtle details to enhance the luxury feel include gloss upper locker doors and varied LED lighting including dimmable spot lights, LED front pillar lights and down lighting in the ceiling which gives a stunning effect.

The Elegance boasts the impressive equipment level you would expect in a luxury touring range.
Alde radiator central heating comes with a domestic towel radiator in the washroom, the front binnacle supports USB and audio jack connections, there is an illuminated cocktail cabinet and the kitchen has a HI-MACS® natural acrylic stone solid work surface with stainless steel underslung sink.

An exclusive Duvalay mattress on fixed bed models ensures the ultimate nights sleep and the longer front beds are easier to make up with the bolster cushions remaining in place to double as a headboard. Little is left to the imagination.
