A SHAFTESBURY caravan and motorhome dealership is celebrating after scooping a top national award.
Blackmore Vale Leisure, on Sherborne Causeway, picked up the Best Supplier of New Caravans title at the 2023 Practical Caravan Owner Satisfaction Awards.

Catherine, Vicky, Debby and Linda from the BVL team travelled to Silverstone for the glittering ceremony, where the company was named top supplier after receiving a satisfaction score of 92.4%, which came from thousands of responses for dealers nationally.
Catherine, Manager at Blackmore Vale Leisure, said: “We are thrilled and overwhelmed to have won this prestigious award. We are a small dealership who strive to be the best at what we do.”
In business since 1967, Blackmore Vale Leisure has picked up numerous awards over the years, and is an official retailer for a number of top brands including Swift and Sprite, Knaus, Weinsburg and Tab.
But although dealing with big-name manufacturers, it is the personal touch that makes the dealership stand out, Catherine said.
“We partner with brands who share our customer centric approach and carefully hand pick our pre owned stock,” she added.
“We have a fully approved Workshop for any servicing and warranty requirements and really aim to offer the best possible service.”
Tourism body the National Caravan Council (NCC) says the caravan industry in the UK contributes more than £6 billion each year to the UK economy, with more than 550,000 touring caravans in use across the country.
And since the Covid pandemic, more and more people are choosing staycations over holidays abroad.
Caravanning has become more popular and the Handheld approach to Blackmore Vale leisure customers really help, they offer full tuition on how your caravan works, including an overnight stay to ensure their customers leave confident in the use of their new caravan.
