When you’re not using your caravan, it makes perfect sense to put a cover on it to protect it from the typically miserable weather we see during the winter. To do this effectively, however, you’ll want to ensure you’ve chosen the best caravan cover for the job.

At Specialised we are always looking for ways to improve our products performance and durability through better design.

Over the last few months, we have invested heavily in 3D equipment, software and people to support this area moving forward. This move into 3D design will improve production processes, efficiencies, accuracy, and ultimately better products with improved performance.

So as promised here is a little more insight into our team at Specialised and as you can imagine they are making me go first !!

Im sure many, if not most of you are unaware I'm Katie, official MD at Specialised but also the one who creates, deploys and misspells all of our social and website content but let me start from the beginning.

This year we have invested heavily in both hardware, software and people within our design team. Our business strategy is to move further into 3D modelling, generating patterns and covers directly from the models. To support this growth we have recruited three new CAD Technicians to Specialised Covers within the last few months.

Jonathan who started in Nov 2020 had graduated from Brunel University with First class Hons in BEng Automotive Engineering and has been an unbelievable asset to the team. He has taken straight to Solidworks and adapted his knowledge to support a very new area for him, working with fabric and creating functional whilst atheistic pleasing products. He has been a pleasure joining the team and his willingness to learn and support his colleagues has been a delight to see.

We have a number of vacancies for Sewing Machinists at Specialised Covers.  This is a great opportunity to join an established production team working on a variety of projects and we are looking to bring in both experience and new ideas to the business. What ever your experience please send your CV as training is available and the ability to learn and work hard is equally valuable to us. 

A caravan is an expensive investment, so it's important you protect it from damage that can happen when you're towing.

Our range of patented Towing Protectors protect the front of your caravan from chips and stones that can fly up from the road when you're towing, as well as keeping dirt at bay, meaning less cleaning and more relaxation time when you arrive at your destination! 

Due to the cancellation of the Oct Caravan show we would like to offer our customers our show offer online. This will allow us to offer the same great discounts over a longer period and support faster production times.

Winter can create many problems for drivers, from those who have just passed their test to seasoned motorists. When you combine darkness, sub-zero temperatures, and heavy rain or snow, drivers are faced with conditions that are less than optimal. In fact, drivers are 20% more likely to be in a car accident during the winter months*. 

However, the risk of having these accidents can be drastically reduced by watching out for specific hazards and taking some simple precautions.
