Jayco Prestige general manager Tony Spence says you’ll never run out of holiday destinations with a caravan.
“There are so many good places in Australia, if you get a caravan you can go somewhere different every time.”
Tony and his team took home Geelong Business Excellence Awards’ family business trophy in 2016.
“We’re very proud of our team,” he says.
Tony has worked at the dealership for five years, and says his customers make it a great place to work.
“When people come here, they’re excited because they’re usually planning a holiday. They’ve worked hard and they want to go see Australia.”
The 53-year-old has explored the country via caravan with his wife Debbie and three children.
“We’ve had some great holidays over the years,” he says.
His parents own the Newcomb dealership, and after 30 years camping they’re still finding new places to go.
“They just completed an eight-week trip to Broome,” he says.
“That was the first time they’d been up that way.”
The dealership has the “grey nomads” covered with luxury caravans, which include air-conditioning and wide screen TVs.
“All the modern amenities of a house we’ve put them inside a caravan,” Tony says.
And with 100 models they’ve got something for everyone.
“We’re getting a lot of younger families,” he says.
“You can sleep eight people in some of the caravans we’ve got.”
They’re also the only Jayco dealership that manufactures their canvas products, making annexes and the awnings to fit.”
