trader of the year 2013

During our annual ball and dinner, held at the Liverpool Arena, the board of the SRVD had the great pleasure of awarding the prize for Trader of the year to Oscar Maddison of Maddison's vehicle Hire Ltd. Oscar has been in the recreational vehicle hire business for over 20 years and in that time has built up the company in the north-west of England in the novelty hire sector. One of the first UK importers of the iconic Winnebago touring vehicles, Oscar now specialises in this area, although for some time he also imported the much loved "Willys Jeep". The attraction to customers of this particular vehicle was no doubt dampened by the inclement British weather, but like all shrewd businessmen Oscar quickly adapted to new products and has never looked back.

Many of our members will have had the pleasure of reading Oscar's contributions to our quarterly magazine, and he will be recognised as a colourful character at most of our social events. Congratulations on this long overdue accolade and we wish you the best success in the future Oscar.
