The chairman of a multi-award winning Shropshire leisure company believes the ‘Boris factor’ is rubbing off on the caravan industry just days after the new Prime Minister was appointed.
Tony Bywater, from Salop Leisure in Shrewsbury, Machynlleth and Stourport-on-Severn, is convinced that Boris Johnson has given the country a badly-needed confidence boost after months of political uncertainty.
“It may be a coincidence, but we noticed an upturn in business straightaway after Boris’ appointment,” said Mr Bywater. “Customers now seem more confident about buying our touring caravans, motorhomes, caravan holiday homes and luxury lodges. They are keen to do business.
“I think most people feel that Boris is making things happen and the country is moving forward after six months of stagnation and uncertainty. His appointment really seems to have shaken up the population.”
