Tyne Valley Motorhomes

What Tyne Valley Motorhomes does

Tyne Valley Motorhomes is a family-run motorhome and campervan dealership operating from a single showroom in Burnopfield, Newcastle upon Tyne, in the North East of England. Formally registered as Tyne Valley Leisure Ltd (Company No. 09361463) and founded in 2001, the company employs 8 staff and serves individual consumers and households seeking recreational motorhomes for holiday travel and touring. The business positions itself as 'The North East's Premier Motorhome Dealership' and holds preferred dealer status with the Camping and Caravanning Club.

The company's core offering is the retail sale of new and pre-owned motorhomes from five major brands — Auto-Trail, Chausson, Elddis, Swift, and Adria — with exclusive UK supplier rights to the Elddis Signature range. New units span coachbuilt, low-profile, and campervan formats priced from approximately £56,000 to £200,000, while used inventory ranges from roughly £30,000 to £80,000 with a 12-month extendable warranty, HPI check, mileage verification, and pre-delivery inspection. The company also retails campervans based on Volkswagen, Ford, Toyota, and Fiat chassis conversions. Revenue is generated through one-time vehicle sales, FCA-authorised credit brokerage commissions (FRN 668007, with Black Horse Limited as primary lender among four partners), after-sales servicing and repairs, accessories with fitting, part-exchange transactions, and insurance introductions via Caravan Guard. Distribution runs through the physical showroom (Mon–Sat 9:00am–6:00pm), phone enquiries, and an online browsing experience with video tours, with an e-commerce deposit reservation system (£1,000 refundable) supporting online conversion.

The operating model is a single-site, consumer-facing retail business with no disclosed external funding, no parent company, no institutional investors, and no diversification into adjacent product or geographic markets. Technology adoption is limited to standard website, analytics, and remarketing tooling with no proprietary systems, integrations limited to Google Analytics, Google AdSense, and an external PCI-compliant payment gateway.

Others
