Tuesday of this week Broadlane Caravans, Alcester went into Administration. Sad day for so many helpful and friendly faces who worked there.

    It does look as if caravan/motorhome dealerships are under pressure? I think that Spinney Motor Group purchased one of their other branches earlier in the year, perhaps they will come to the rescue again?

    It appears that all of it's stores/dealerships have been closed. I wonder how customers with outstanding warranty claims will fair?

    Here is the announcement on their web site.

    There web site is still up and running, but checking on units and it says that there are none available at the moment, viatorem,  so it would appear to be as you say.

    There's a post on the Knaus Caravans GB forum on FB today - to that effect.

    All seems a bit of a mess, the MM Podcast  confirms my guess of profiteering during the recent boom. Sad part is that it was entirely predictable as the boom hit thoughts were that in a few years there's going to be some bargains. Sorry for all the jobs lost.
