Cannock Resprays, the Staffordshire-based motorhome, campervan and caravan specialist has relaunched under new ownership.
The motorhome repair specialist has been in the centre of Cannock for over 35 years, where it has built a reputation for careful, high-standard repair work.
In the years before it became a motorhome specialist, Cannock Resprays built its name working closely with local car dealers, earning a reputation for careful, high-standard bodywork.
That direction changed when the previous owner took on a damaged motorhome that no one else wanted to repair. The job went so well it revealed a clear gap in the market, and the business gradually became a dedicated motorhome and caravan body repair specialist. Local dealers took notice, sending their own high-value repairs to Cannock Resprays because of the standard of work behind it.
That reputation, built over 35 years, is what the new owners have now taken on, with plans to carry it into the next chapter.
The new owners, Natalie Moore and Lewis Grimley, said they had spent years searching for a repairer who could match the standard they needed for their own motorhome work.
Lewis said: “Being in the industry ourselves, we always found it hard to find good body repairs on motorhomes.
“Using over ten companies previously, we never found someone with the attention to detail that Cannock Resprays had.
“Once we knew the company was available, it was an immediate yes and we never looked back.”
Since the relaunch of the business, demand for the workshop has grown steadily. Waiting times for a repair slot have increased from two to three months to four to five months, a clear sign that more customers are choosing Cannock Resprays without any drop in the standard of work.
Lewis says: “It shows that we are securing more customers than ever, whilst still maintaining our usual high standards.
“A four to five month wait means we now have the opportunity to look at expanding our team.”
Lewis’s connection to the motorhome industry began at the age of 16, working for a family motorhome business, starting as a valeter before progressing through transport, sales, aftersales and then general management.
He said: “Now 31, I have gained a lot of connections within the industry and love solving problems.
“From manufacturers and dealers to repairers, distributors and suppliers, I’ve learnt every part of the business.”
The new owners are clear that the relaunch marks the beginning of a longer-term plan for the business.
With the new website launching, Lewis said: “The future of Cannock Resprays is bright.
“We hope to expand the team, premises and move towards an industry-leading workshop.
“Whilst we are long way from this, we have high and ambitions and goals.
“As a young family, we have the time, determination and backing to get where we believe we can get to.”
