LOCAL motorhome retailer, Cleveland Motor Homes, won its eighth consecutive Gold Award from Autosleeper UK.

Brothers Neil and Craig Jackson, along with father Ken, who run the multi-franchise operation on the outskirts of Darlington, close to Teesside Airport, were presented with the prestigious award by Steve Cant, national sales manager for Autosleeper.

Neil said: "It's a great honour to pick up the award for the eighth year in a row.

"This reflects the high level of commitment to quality and service the dealership provides on a national level.

"We've never rested on our laurels and our success simply makes us even more determined to continue to improve and succeed in what is a very competitive market.

"It's going to be another very exciting year for Cleveland Motor Homes and we plan to be in contention in 2002 for a ninth award."
