INDEPENDENT family business BCH Camping & Leisure has expanded with the addition of a dedicated caravan and motorhome awning showroom.

The new showroom at the Trowbridge superstore is large enough to fit up to 10 awnings on display at any given time.

Director Garth Hussey said: "We are all very excited about the new showroom and judging by the response we’ve had so far, our customers are too."

The family run business has been based in Trowbridge for nearly 40 years and was started by Garth's father and uncle in 1976 under the name BCH Camping Equipment Hire.

Thirty nine years and a name change later, BCH now has stores in Chippenham and Bath as well as online and employs 20 staff.

With the opening of the new showroom at Trowbridge, the firm now boasts one of the biggest tent and awning displays in the South West.

So what’s next for BCH Camping? Mr Hussey said: "The aim is to keep growing and to keep moving forward."
