MPS FIGHT TO SAVE YORKSHIRE’S CARAVAN INDUSTRY

Good morning I hope you are all well on a foggy but excited Southend. You may be wondering what the excitement is about, well the big game with Chelsea is tonight and the town is buzzing! Wish us luck.

It’s rare to see high profile politicians involved in the Touring Caravan industry but I see the troubles in Yorkshire have prompted some big names to get involved. Alan Johnson MP is leading the fight to save the Atlas Group as he understands the importance of the Touring Caravan industry in terms of the regions economy and the threat of 340 more jobs being lost. He joins fellow city MP’s Diana Johnson and former Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott in arranging discussions with the Touring Caravan manufacturers and with Business Secretary Peter Mandleson to save the industry.

Hopefully these discussions will lead to meaningful developments and hopefully a satisfactory conclusion.

Happy Touring!

Mike
