Jon is Head Technician at Tebay and our resident miracle worker. He has the patience of a saint and the work ethic of a Challenger tank, perhaps unsurprising as his apprenticeship was with Vickers Defence building tanks. Jon is not on e-mail, but is always at the end of the telephone for any customer who needs him. Jon was in the prototyping team at Elddis in Consett before joining Adventure Leisure Vehicles, so is well used to finding solutions to any problem and to all types of caravan construction.

Jenny joined ALV in the summer of 2013 and is our Office Manager, looking after all our Administration and organising our Summer Rallies. With one daughter at Uni and another in 6th form Jenny now has more spare time to walk her Border Terrier puppy on the local fells with her husband Jeff, who you might also meet as acting barman at our Rallies.  Email: [email protected]
