Experience
This arncie was prepared with the assistance of Mr D. McGregor, managing director of Caravan Centre (South Island), Ltd, representing Caravans International Munro, Ltd.
Doug McGregor, who has had the longest experience in the caravan industry in New Zealand, has spent 28 years in the game, covering all aspects of the trade. In 1953, Doug moved from rental operation to manufacturing and in 1956 became inaugural president of the Caravan Manufacturers’ Association.
In 1963, he began caravan retailing at a site in Main North Road, based on the caravan supermarket concept and, this being the age of specialisation, he now concentrates on the retailing of caravans and their specialised accessories.
Doug McGregor has served for several years on the executive of the Caravan Retailers’ Association and in March of this year was presented with the Caravans International Dealer of the Year Award — an event which he regards as one of the highlights of his career.
