“We are continually looking at ways in which to improve our facilities and services for our customers and hope our new Motability status will be welcomed by Bury St Edmund drivers,” concluded David.

The relationship between the Morley Road Volkswagen van centre and CamperVantastic has been beneficial to both parties, as Steve explains.
“The efficient service and aftersales care from the SMG team has been crucial in helping to build our 100 per cent Volkswagen brand and business reputation. It’s a delight to work with people who are equally as passionate about the California’s.
“The business has gone from strength to strength as the vehicles are available for both UK and European holiday hire. We include everything for a stress-free break including insurance, kitchen and dinning equipment and satellite navigation systems.
“We also provide an impartial campervan advice service which has been favourable for both SMG sales as well as strengthening our expertise.”
Each California, which sleeps four, is brightly coloured emulating the companies fun approach to holidays and features an electrically powered pop-up roof with a double bed and fuel efficiently benefits
