Willerby Lifestyle, a division of Willerby Innovations, has signed new deals with four holiday home dealerships. The agreements are set to bring its wide range of off-site modular solutions to holiday parks throughout the UK from next year. After a successful show season, Southern Counties Leisure, Harrison Leisure, Salop Leisure and Skegness Caravan Sales have all become dealers of Willerby Lifestyle products. All four were already dealers of Willerby Holiday Homes and the new Willerby Lifestyle products will complement the product range they already offer. Southern Counties Leisure is a sole distributor of Willerby lodges and holiday homes, and serves over 120 holiday parks across the South West from Devon and Cornwall to Gloucestershire and Somerset. SCL now offers the full Willerby Lifestyle range, which includes the brand new Rutherford and Hive Collection. Recently, Southern Counties Leisure has supplied Woolcombe Bay Holiday Park in Devon with the Reef from Willerby’s Hive Collection, to become one of the first holiday parks to offer the new glamping pod for short breaks from next March. Across the Midlands and Wales, Salop Leisure, which has expanded its offering in recent years to cater for a more varied range of holiday homes, has also added Willerby Lifestyle products to its range. The Salop Leisure team was impressed by the whole range, taking both Willerby’s Freeport and Montana units to demonstrate to holiday parks at its own trade show in September. Both Harrison Leisure, which owns several family operated caravan parks across the North West, and Skegness Caravan Sales will also be adding Willerby Lifestyle products to their core offering. Following the new deal, Harrison Leisure will be supplying Willerby Lifestyle products to holiday parks throughout the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales as well as Lancashire and North Wales while Skegness Caravan Sales will cover the east of England from Lincolnshire and Norfolk right down to Bedfordshire and Essex.
