Barrel-Location

We're excited to be sponsoring a Barrel this year in Burton-on-Trent!

We are a family-owned business nestled in the heart of Burton-on-Trent, specialising in the purchase of motorhomes and campervans from across the UK. Our dedicated team offers a seamless and secure process for those looking to sell their vehicles.

This year, we're thrilled to participate in the Burton Barrel Roll, an event that shines a spotlight on the local leisure, tourism sectors, artists, and businesses. We're eager to encourage people to embark on a journey around the local town, hunting for the 14 barrels that make up this engaging trail.

Our commitment didn't stop at just sponsoring the main barrel; we also took under our wing two smaller barrels! Supporting local charities is important to us. Thus, Victoria lent her artistic talents to help the children at The Fountains Primary School with their Barrel. Additionally, the mee&dee Charity contributed a beautifully painted barrel, which you can admire at Coopers Shopping Centre.
