Our Story
Darren has been in the caravan industry for 25 years starting with his very important role cleaning the toilets at Mullacott Caravan park in the early 90’s. After more and more people kept asking to have work done on their vans ranging from fixing a pump, to adjusting the brake system a service center was set up at the caravan park. Darren saw an opportunity for expansion and approached Stowford Farm Meadows caravan park in 1999 who had around 800 caravans in storage with no means to service them. In 2000 he moved to Stowford and opened a workshop. This expanded at quite a rate with an accessory shop being added fairly quickly.
Darren then saw the need for caravan sales on site and in 2003 started selling caravans on site. This also expanded at quite a rate and a dedicated sales center was soon opened. Working for Stowford was a joy, but Darren soon needed to take the next step and branch out on his own. He approached a local business man, Martin Fletcher, who has a great business knowledge and the ability to fund such a project.
After a short search a premises was found near Liskeard in Cornwall where there was particular lack of caravan sales. In 2009 Darren moved to Liskeard and set up Atlantic caravans in Doublebois.
After several good years working with Martin, Darren took the step to go it alone and managed to buy the business in 2016 which is where the story continues.
