b54fa1b0-216a-4cbb-9d38-ecf1670f73bb

In a bid to establish new international partnerships, Bailey of Bristol has announced the appointment of Ian Atkinson as their new Head of International Sales.

The company, founded in 1948, is the longest established UK independent manufacturer with over 70 years’ experience in the leisure vehicle market.

During this period the family-owned business has grown to become not only the manufacturer of the UK’s most popular caravan brand, but also one of the largest in Europe. In 2011, the company expanded into motorhome production branched out to export markets, including Australia, New Zealand and South Korea.

To date, approaching 70,000 Bailey leisure vehicles have been built with this ground-breaking technology, and are currently being used and enjoyed around the world.

Whilst domestically Bailey is one of the most recognisable brands on the market, with the exception of a few other countries it is less well known outside the UK. Consequently as part of its future business development plans the company is looking to establish new international partnerships with import companies looking to expand their recreational vehicle portfolio.

To lead this business expansion, Bailey of Bristol has appointed Ian as their new Head of International Sales. Ian, who joined in January, has nearly 30 years of previous experience in developing and sustaining new international partnerships for a number of capital plant companies.

Ian said: “Since joining Bailey, I have been extremely impressed with the quality of both the products and the people. Every Bailey caravan and motorhome is built to consistently high standards in their state of the art production facility,"

“We are now in a position to establish new distributor agreements with international partners and I welcome any contact from prospective companies who can offer a strong sales and service capability in caravans and/or motorhomes,” he added.

Bailey Managing Director Nick Howard added: “Bailey Caravans and Motorhomes are currently being used and enjoyed all over the world. We love hearing about their international adventures and want more people to have the chance to ‘Go Bailey’ globally in future”.
