Swift scoop the 2009 Caravan Industry ‘Safety & Security’
Award
The Swift
Conqueror 630 has won the 2009 Caravan Industry Award for advances
in caravan safety and security. The award is sponsored by Towergate
Bakers, one of the leading caravan insurers who have been
delighted to sponsor this award once again.
The judges had a very difficult job on their hands having to
consider seven nominations from the leading manufacturers, namely
Swift, Bailey, Compass, Elddis, Fleetwood, Lunar and Coachman.
When making their decisions the judges were very complimentary
to all entries, the caravan industry has been especially pro-active
in recent years in building in good quality and innovative features
which improve security and safety. However the unanimous winner was
the Swift Conqueror 630 for the fitting as standard of the new HAL
Locate GPS tracking system. It is the only such system to be
Thatcham approved for leisure vehicles and is operative right
across Europe.
The Compass range were runners up for the optional fitting of
the BPW Intelligent Drive Control system which helps prevent
instability whilst towing and in third place came Bailey for their
Pageant Series 7 which features as standard an innovative new
safety feature.
Commenting on the awards Paul Baker, Sales Director of sponsors
Towergate Bakers said
‘We are delighted that so many nominations were considered this
year emphasizing how seriously manufacturers now regard security
and safety. We would like to congratulate all of the nominations
but particularly Swift who are the first to instal the
revolutionary HAL Locate Tracker which is bound to raise the bar in
terms of caravan security.’
‘As a leading caravan insurer there is no doubt that
improvements in caravan security have reduced caravan theft whilst
improvements in safety have similarly reduced the cost and number
of towing accidents. This can only be good news for caravan
policyholders and insurers. For sometime now we have offered very
high levels of discount to reward good security and safety features
and secure storage and the new HAL Locate Tracker has been added to
the list of security devices which attract a 25% premium
discount.
