Caravanning couple use entrepreneurial spirit

Article Published On 5 February 2007

A couple from the West Midlands harnessed their love of caravans to up an entrepreneurial venture selling accessories to fellow enthusiasts.

Mr Hemingsley and his wife Catherine set up their own caravan accessories company Care-avan, reports Inspire Magazine.

He said: "Our accessories are intended to make caravanning more pleasurable and easier and we pride ourselves on our ever growing selection of quality products at affordable prices."

One of the company's first inventions was a Drain-Away waste pipe that helps to empty the refuse contents of a caravan without spillage.

The company has also released a top-rated caravan polish product.

Mr Hemingsley added: "My wish for it to become the UK's number one caravan polish came true when Practical Caravan magazine asked me to provide them with a sample bottle because they were going to test ten of the country's best polishes on old and new caravans in their October 2006 edition.

"We were being tested alongside some big companies like Turtle Wax and Mer Car Polish and we produced the best results - five stars out of five. We were also selected as the editor's first choice, beating many top brands."
