We are absolutely delighted to announce that Kimberley Caravans has been awarded Silver in the Caravan Owner Satisfaction Awards 2025! This recognition is a huge honour, as it is based on real feedback from caravan owners across the UK, making it one of the most respected awards in the industry.
This is our second prestigious award this year, having also been named Caravan Dealership of the Year Runner-Up in an independent survey through Out and About Live—a fantastic achievement that reflects our commitment to delivering quality products and excellent customer service.
The Caravan Owner Satisfaction Awards, organized by The Camping and Caravanning Club, are based on in-depth feedback from thousands of caravan and motorhome owners. The results come directly from those who use their vehicles year-round, rating everything from build quality to dealer service and aftercare. Winning Silver is a testament to our dedication to ensuring our customers receive the very best experience when purchasing and maintaining their caravans.
Kimberley Caravans started in the 1970s when Michael Lowe, a passionate and experienced caravan salesman, rented a small plot on our current Nottingham site. From these modest beginnings, Kimberley has grown into one of the UK’s largest caravan and motorhome dealerships, with branches across the North East and East Midlands.
Today, the business is run by Michael’s son, Chris Lowe, who continues to drive Kimberley forward, ensuring we remain at the forefront of the industry. Under his leadership, we are moving from strength to strength, expanding our range of top-brand caravans—including Swift & Coachman—and maintaining our reputation for outstanding customer service.
We want to say a massive thank you to all our customers who took the time to vote for us. Your support means the world to us, and we look forward to helping even more of you find your perfect caravan or motorhome in the years to come!
