In this months C&CC magazine which arrived today there is an advert for Leisure First, it looks identical to Automotive Leisure’s advert, same layout and wording but this different name, a mobile phone number and email address. I googled and the website isn’t available yet. AL’s website makes no mention of a name change. Does anyone know anything about this?

It’s confusing as the ad states”The Official New and Used Eriba dealer” 50+ in stock. Vast range in our showroom now. It’s identical bar the name.
Neil has just spotted AL’s ad in Septembers mag. Uses the same mobile number, no landline but AL’s name. Now I’m very confused 🤔
Personally I’m always wary of businesses that just give mobile numbers but I’m probably just old fashioned. Seems very odd that AL would use a new business name without a fanfare to launch it.

That’s the one Roger 👍
On second viewing it is AL but to my mind it’s really bad business to change an established trading name with no explanation/announcement.

Ducato have obviously got the idea from Aston Martin and James Bond, brilliant but is it like the Emperor’s new clothes 😂

Maybe AL has had too many complaints, so is changing its name!!!

On the Companies House website, Leisure First is a new company incorporated on 20th July. The director is Joanne Robbins, who resigned as director and secretary of Automotive Leisure in 2016. The registration addresses are the same. So just looks like either an internal buy out or maybe splitting the company to take care of different aspects of the business.
Should be interesting to see what changes take place.

I can just imagine a caravan of caravans moving from one to another !

Been to Leisure First Wed 7th Oct unfortunately took down postcode from Cameron's post above only to find ourselves in a residential area in the wrong part of Poole.
The correct postcode is BH12 4Qz. Have been told many e-mails were sent to previous customers informing them of change of address. I did not receive one would be interested if anyone else did.
