Pegasus - Your passport to adventure. Amid high excitement the eagerly awaited Bailey Pegasus range was finally unveiled to the public at the International Caravan & Motorhome Show, and these ground-breaking new caravans, featuring the unique Alu-Tech body shell, did not disappoint in helping the company secure retail orders to the value of £12 million - which is double the amount achieved at the same event last year.
This represents the Bailey brand’s best ever sales performance at an exhibition in terms of both the volume and value of orders received and confirms the company’s position as the number one touring caravan manufacturer in the UK, as well as being one of the largest in Europe.
Whilst sales were strong across all product ranges much of this achievement was down to the performance of the Pegasus range which accounted for a remarkable 65% of the total business written. Naturally Bailey is delighted that the caravan buying public has reacted so positively to the new range on its debut at the show. Particularly encouraging is the fact that included in the many new Pegasus owners are a significant number of senior caravan journalists and other leading industry figures.
Sales success on stand was mirrored in the results of the three Caravan Design Award Competitions announced. The Pegasus range claimed two of the top three prizes, with Practical Caravan Magazine’s Tourer of the Year title going to the Pegasus 534 and Which Caravan Magazine’s Caravan of the Year award presented to the Pegasus 624. The company’s products also won a number of category awards in the same competition and for good measure the Bailey Alu-Tech body shell construction system also won Caravan Industry Magazine’s award for Best Innovation.
A full listing of the third party endorsements received by Bailey products is available on the Product Awards page of our website @ www.bailey-caravans.co.uk/awards.
