Camperite has been trading selling tents for over 30 years from its location in Marks Tey near Colchester. The accessory shop is always being improved and a large extension was added to allow more space to stock those all-essential bits of equipment. Outside there is space to erect up to 30 tents with a mixed range of Kampa, Outwell, and Vango so that customers can have a good look round and see the models performing in realistic outdoor conditions.
The business owner David Broughton has been in the camping trade for over 25 years and worked some of that time as a sales representative for one the major tent suppliers and then left to go and join a retail shop as manager and also for two years ran the biggest camping shows in the country for a London based retailer. David saw the golden opportunity of owning Camperite Leisure as one not to be missed. David hopes that he is able to provide a personal level of service that sometimes now seems to be missing from some of the bigger camping shops and online retailers with specialist knowledge to make any customers family camping holiday complete.
A year after David started at Camperite one his customers sons came to start work with him at the tender age of 15. Thirteen years on Tom Davies is a full time member of staff and has all the knowledge to help customers.
Tom has attended training courses with Outwell and Vango and gained accreditation's and as a company we were awarded Kampa Dealer of the year in 2009 so between the all the staff we should be able to help and have the answers to all your questions with nearly 75 years experience between us.
In 2015 we were joined by John as our third full time member of staff and brings with him 35 years experience in the outdoor and camping industry and Camperite has diversified to offer more products for our caravan customers including the latest inflatable awnings and more caravan accessories along with our continued extensive range of camping equipment.
Although not the biggest shop, with David’s long experience in the trade he has been able to secure excellent deals with suppliers which allows him to offer very competitive pricing but still maintain that personal element of service and advice. I hope you find us friendly, competitive and helpful. Please feel free to give us a call and try our service.
