Bailey Caravans Factory Visit.

As promised my thoughts on the Factory Visit.

These visits are only available bi-annually to members of the owners club. For those that are not members please consider joining. They are not a clique and about the friendliest bunch you will find.

Now the visits:- As many of us know Bailey have set out to radically alter the premises, design, manufacturing process, attitude and ethos of the product. (project Aurora). i. e drag it into the 21 st Century with modern production facilities and practices. This is being achieved in spades in a remarkably short time.

Our first trip was to the new Parts Centre. We were entertained royally with food, Drinks and Live music. Available from this centre now are a multitude of spares and accessories. Bailey is the only manufacturer offering this service and more power to their elbow. Most parts are available and are being dispatched within hours of the order. Those not in stock are dispatched a. s. a. p.

We did have access to the Web Site designer and he was left in no doubt as to our negative opinion of the new web site. He took it on the chin and in response to specific points the following was ‘approved’. Though it may take a while to amend the program.

1. The site will soon retain details of your van and previous purchases on logging in (as did the old one)

2. The complaint that very small items attracted a disproportionate postage charge is being addressed so that such items can be sent by letter post etc.

3. If you order multiple items at the same time then postage should now be appropriate not charged per item.

4. The facility to ‘add on’ to a previous order is not possible with the current system.

5. It is in hand to refine the search structure to make it easier to identify what you need.

6. BOC members were signed up to a 10% discount.

The Factory visit :- A comprehensive presentation by Simon Howard followed by visits to all relevant areas. We were told at the start that we could photograph anything we wished. We could discuss with any operative anything we wished. We would be given, at the end, access to the designers and engineers to discuss general or individual interests or concerns. All of which happened.

Gone are the old premises and practices. Smart new buildings either in use or awaiting construction. It is now staff in company clothing, Assembly / Manufacturing lines where you could have eaten your dinner off the floor are now the norm. Proper accountable quality control has been introduced at each and every stage. For example the water system is pressure tested on a number of occasions during the assembly so that any problem can be found and addressed before it reaches the next stage. It is now more like a car plant, forget what you will see if you look at the old U tube videos. It is a handmade product and humans will make mistakes but they really are trying and appear to be getting there.

Access to the designers and engineers together with a sample of the various product lines were available, (the new Autograph Motor Home is particularly impressive). In response to specific questions the replies were as follows. (My precis)

Composite Floor. We are working on and testing it and have been for some time. When it’s right we will be going that way.

Caravan Weights. (Given the lighter tow cars) We are investigating all sorts of composite structures for the furniture and body which we confidently predict will slash weights. Whilst it’s easy to do, we do have to make a design and style that the customer wants.

Roof joint. There have been a tiny number of failures, they should not have happened. It has been a human assembly problem.

For the Future.

Obviously they are not going to give away secret design plans. Given what I calculate to be a fivefold increase on design/engineering staff in the last 2 years, I will simply ‘watch this space’ with interest. Oh and keep SWMBO away from the cheque book.

For those that attended the rally.

Dometic had three fridge engineers to give free fridge services and sort out any problems. They also had a van full of replacement door shelves to replace the troublesome ones. (For those that do not know, early slim line fridges had a faulty moulding that split).

Alde / Whale and the other component manufacturers were in attendance with similar services.

Bailey provided a number of fitters so should you have a problem and they could fix it, then they did. New or old vans did not matter.

All free and thanks to Bailey.

Alan, what a breath of fresh air! :-)

Sounds like Messrs Bailey have taken the (several) criticisms on board and have adopted a positive approach - this is always welcomed.

Other manufacturers could take note and follow suit or risk the inevitable consequences of "we know what's best for you".

I suspect Mr Bailey may hear from us when we are looking to replace our current van - influenced in no small part by your reported developments - let's hope (some of) the Bailey dealers are brought into this new world too. ....

Thanks again for an informative and interesting post

Dealers ? that is a whole new ball game

"Roof joint. There have been a tiny number of failures, they should not have happened. It has been a human assembly problem." So have or will Bailey install a system where any poor workmanship can be traced back to an individual or team responsible?

  Roof joint. There have been a tiny number of failures, they should not have happened. It has been a human assembly problem.

Dead right it should not have happened. Not so sure though about the tiny number.

1. Yes it was a human assembly problem.

2. It was also a design problem which then allowed human error factors to creep in also. Who in their right mind would try and design a waterproof structure putting a join across a flat roof with a small plastic strip covering the join and also ensuring water pools at one side of the strip or the other (or both is the van is exactly level).

3. It was an inspection problem also.

Obviously being wined and dined dulled ones observational skills.

Interests, none worth mentioning. Just plain boring most of the time, and very boring the rest.

Actually every caravan on the market has similar joins across the roof. All the others have two not one. And over the years I have spent many a happy hour repairing them. Would I prefer a single piece front to rear yes. Trouble is the plant to laminate the panels can't make them that big, although the Bailey System can at least accomodate that should they make them.

Climb onto the roof of a Swift design and you will find a shallow swimming pool as the front, rear and sides are all higher than the roof panel for example. Other makes are similar. The very fact of cutting the roof full of holes for Sky lights that we do not actually 'have to have' is equally illogical.

My observational skills are fine thank you and I had a very interesting discussion with the designers as to how they intended to progress in the future. They did not attempt to minimize or cover up the cause of the failures. This year, as it was two years ago, every point raised by the customer was noted and discussed and I have personal experience of the way at least four items were changed either in the design or positioning. All agreed before we left the factory and implemented in the next production run. At least they are trying.

According to some owners on here -- Very !

Skoda Scout 4x4 pulling a coachman Amara 520/4 at 93%---- when full!

Why can't there make a one piece roof, they did for the U1?

I've read the same about Swift roofs holding water, and Coachman look the same?

My Coachman Pastiche certainly has joints I would rather were not there (if the joint isn't there it's much less likely to leak, Sherlock, imho).....although to be fair it wasn't those joints which leaked the rainwater into it. .........

but it wasn't helped by being a badly performed and inadequately inspected task. ..

I think it's a great post, and a great effort from Bailey who to be honest, don't actually have to do this. Let's face it, they are a market leader, and how many manufacturers open their doors?????? Anyone else do this??

There is always going to be issues, hence a warranty, and there will always be a bad dealer that will make it worse. Pretty much the same with any manufacturer of any item. BUT at least they seem to be listening and trying to improve. Think the old attitude of most British Manufacturers was ' we are right, why should we listen and why should we change' is what sank most companies, they will never get it right everytime, no one will or ever does, (they just hide it better!!)

Yes Elddis in Durham have open days, available for everyone.

Why can't there make a one piece roof, they did for the U1?   I've read the same about Swift roofs holding water, and Coachman look the same?

The more obvious answer would be a one piece roof with the front and rear joining with lap joints so even in the event of sealant failure there would be no leaks. Better still how about modern technology to bond both halves of the roof together permanently.

Steamdrivenandy

  Why can't there make a one piece roof, they did for the U1?  

I don't think they've ever has a one piece roof including front and back. The angle over the rear is too sharp to accommodate it.

I've got nothing to do on this hot afternoon

but to settle down and write you a line.

  Perhaps the "leaks" are actually drain holes.   Why can't there make a one piece roof, they did for the U1?   I've read the same about Swift roofs holding water, and Coachman look the same?

They could revert to the one piece. Though the join is still there only now at the rear. The curved rear is claimed to have a beneficial effect on fuel consumption. Some where between 10 and 15 % if I remember correctly. Certainly my Unicorn 3 is noticeably less thirsty to tow than the 1 ot 2 were.

  I don't think they've ever has a one piece roof including front and back. The angle over the rear is too sharp to accommodate it.

U1 only has a joint were the rear panel meets, its part of the frame work where they meet, so as water proof as the rest of the structure, which is pretty good in fact the only roof leaks I recall are on the plastic joints.

Avondale had a one piece GRP roof that overlapped all around. In theory should have been ok. Nope they leaked as water tracked upwards by capillary action. Probably the best of the bunch at the time though.

Similar to the old top of the range Avondale with the overlapping fibreglass roof.

Heavy but pretty leak proof.

Repeat of Alans post.

Thanks Alan for a good report.

It is a pity that dealers can't be "franchised" dealers so that the factory can have a degree of control over their actions as I think they are the weak link in the chain.

Leaks,repairs etc are obviously a pain but like many things in life it is not the problem that defines a firm/company it is how it is dealt with and in a nutshell a lot of dealers it appears are falling well short.

In our case the dealer was excellent. Sadly the faults in my caravan go far deeper than just being a pain. First a holiday was ruined and had to be cut short. Second we were left without a van for 6 weeks until it was repaired with all the agro that went with it. Thirdly that not again feeling as this is the third new British caravan we've had and all three have leaked in under a year. The first one cost us literally thousands. Finally, and most important of all, I've lost all faith in the van and no longer get the slightest pleasure out of it or caravanning.

Frankly after all the problems we've had its a bit like having a brand new car and being involved in an accident that wasn't one's fault after just a few weeks and then driving around knowing it has already had major repairs.

There's a difference between a capilliary leak (especially with non wood construction) and water literally pouring through the join in the seam. The leak filled a washing up bowl in under an hour. It was directly over the bed and running down the walls and behind the cupboards.

I think it's a great post, and a great effort from Bailey who to be honest, don't actually have to do this. Let's face it, they are a market leader, and how many manufacturers open their doors??????

Coachman do & more. ....................

If I were to join the Bailey Owners Club, would I be able to participate in the next factory tour? Or is it so oversubscribed that I'd be unlikely to get in?

Historically it has been held every two years. It is very well organised with timed groups. Never had a problem getting on it. Times are allocated at the rally. If you don't attend the rally you can't go. Best speak to the club. They will be at the NEC on Bailey main stand. Or you can contact them on the web site.

Thanks for that report Alan, i am encouraged by Baileys improvement program and when time to change will seriously relook at Bailey.

Iv only had 1 bailey and that was a u2, good vsn overall but with some major issues which i must say bailey delt with very well even having the md involved.

Bailey u4?? Is definatly on the list for the future

  Dometic had three fridge engineers to give free fridge services and sort out any problems. They also had a van full of replacement door shelves to replace the troublesome ones. (For those that do not know, early slim line fridges had a faulty moulding that split).  

Alan, was there any mention of the availability of the modified door shelves to owners of caravans with the slimline fridge? I've had a couple of mine replaced under warranty as they had broken. They were replaced without any aggro, but given that my caravan is now 18 months old, my concern would be that if they break outside the warranty I'll be forced to buy replacements for what was clearly a bad design. Is there any way to tell if the replacements I have been given are from the new batch. One was replaced last year, the other just a few weeks ago.

Bailey caravans: 7 of the best

In our Bailey caravan round-up, we share our top picks from the past couple of years, to help you find the right tourer for you

By Peter Byrne Published: July 28, 2022

The best caravans provide a comfortable base for making amazing memories. However, finding the right one for you isn’t always so easy. To give you a helping hand, we’re taking a look at the Bailey caravans that have really impressed us over the past couple of years.

Bailey is a popular brand – at our Owner Satisfaction Awards, the brand won gold and silver medals, while they also enjoyed a successful Practical Caravan Awards. Here, the Bailey Grande Pegasus SE Ancona won the best caravan for families and the manufacturer was nominated for a further eight categories too.

The British manufacturer, who you can find out more about in our guide to the best caravan brands , is one of the biggest caravan makers in the country – here, we reveal our top picks from recent years…

The best Bailey caravans: mini reviews

Bailey Alicante Grande Porto

• MTPLM:  1847kg
• MiRO:  1687kg
• Payload:  160kg
• Shipping length:  7.86m
• Width:  2.45m

Reasons to buy:

• Great washroom

Reasons to avoid:

• Storage for table could be better

This family-friendly Bailey caravan is part of the second generation Alicanto Grande range.

In response to customer demand, Bailey decided to move the mains hook-up connection to the offside, meaning you would no longer have a cable trailing through your caravan awning .

We like that the twin-axle caravan has a lounge with a central window that is now 50% larger, as it allows plenty of light in. There’s also a large table in here which is more than capable of seating four. Comfortable settees will be well-lit as it darkens too, thanks to LEDs and spotlights which include USBs.

A good caravan kitchen is an essential for keen cooks; in this model, you get a dual-fuel four-burner hob and a separate oven and grill, along with a microwave that has a built-in plate. We also appreciate the 153-litre fridge, which should be more than adequate for families on tour.

We think the washroom is incredibly impressive, with enough space to act as a dressing room. In here, there’s a large handbasin with a useful surround, as well as a lit mirror and a ladder radiator. On the nearside is the shower cubicle.

The rear bed is five feet wide and very comfortable, while another bed at the front can be made up.

Bailey Discovery D4-4

• Year:  2021
• MTPLM: 1206kg
• MiRO:  1059kg
• Payload:  147kg
• Shipping length:  7.14m
• Width:  2.23m
• Lightweight
• Excellent large washroom
• No microwave

This Bailey caravan from 2021 combines both style and comfort.

A bright and spacious lounge is on offer; the skylight may be a controversial feature but we found it let in plenty of natural light. Spotlights – with USB charging points – and LEDs are also to hand for the evenings.

In the kitchen, you get a three-burner Thetford hob and a combined oven/grill. We would like to have seen a microwave though, and also found work surface to be at a premium, unless the fold-up extension is used.

However, you do get a 103-litre Dometic fridge, and it comes with a 12-litre freezer compartment too.

We’re fans of the large washroom at the rear of the van. A Thetford cassette toilet, complete with push-button flush, is in here, while there’s useful storage for toiletries. The shower sits on the nearside corner and is a bit on the small side – the roof light only lets a little bit of light in, but an LED strip runs above the mirror and there’s also a downlighter by the door.

A double bed is made up with slats that come from the front bulkhead, with the gap between the settees plugged with the backrests. Something to bear in mind is that it could be a bit on the small side if you’re taller than 6ft 2in.

A fixed double can also be found at the rear of the van. It has a comfortable padded headboard, with small shelves on either side.

If you’re a first time buyer looking for a pre-owned van, the D4-4 is well worth considering – you can also get more inspiration in our guide to the best used caravans .

Bailey Phoenix 642+

• MTPLM:  1410kg
• MiRO:  1255kg
• Payload:  155kg
• Shipping length:  2.37m
• Width:  2.21m
• Smart exterior
• Bright interior
• Compact washroom

This limited edition Bailey caravan was also released in 2021. We really like the upmarket exterior of the van, a look that’s achieved courtesy of the 14-inch silver alloy wheels and Dove Grey sides.

Inside, we found the Light Oak furniture finish created a bright interior. This effect is enhanced by the large central window that lets plenty of daylight in, while ambient lighting and spotlights are also to hand.

If you’re wanting to watch TV on tour, you’ll be pleased to know there’s a suitable spot for one – if you’re looking for a model, be sure to take a look at our guide to the best caravan TVs .

There’s plenty of work surface in the kitchen, even if there isn’t an extension. A 106-litre fridge can be found in here, along with an 800W microwave, and we like that you can fit the four-burner hob with a wooden cover to provide some extra space for preparation too.

The end washroom is on the compact side but it’s nicely lit, as is the shower cubicle.

When it comes to sleeping arrangements, the front single beds are only 9cm shorter than the fixed beds, and as they’re 1.81m, they’re well-suited for most adults. The base cushion and backrests are split too, allowing a comfortable double to be made up.

Bailey Alicante Grande Lisbon

• Year:  2022
• MTPLM:  1700kg
• MiRO:  1546kg
• Payload:  154kg
• Shipping length:  7.38m
• Well-lit interior
• Accessing table will be a two person job
• Front beds could be bigger

This single-axle has a caravan layout that means you get an island bed, as well as a garage that extends across the rear of the van and can also be accessed via a door on both sides.

As the central window is 50% larger than it was in the previous generation, there’s plenty of light that floods into the airy lounge.

The table in here is more than big enough for four – one thing we should point out is that you need to store it underneath the bed, so accessing it is likely to be a two-person job.

Comfortable settees are also to hand, with spotlights beneath the lockers and LEDs in the window housing providing some evening lighting.

Avtex Wi-Fi is also a factory fit on the roof.

The L-shaped kitchen includes plenty of worktop, a dual-fuel four-burner hob – which resides over the separate oven and grill – and also a microwave. The two-way opening fridge is 133 litres too, so should be more than suited to meeting the needs of four on tour.

The central washroom includes a nearside shower cubicle which provides good headroom. We like the touch of marbling that adds a bit of character, but you only get a single drainage hole.

A comfortable 5ft wide bed is provided, although the tradeoff here means the double at the front is not quite so wide. Here, you can make up a double with slats and an infill cushion that comes to 3ft 8in wide, while the singles that are made up from the settees will only be 5ft 9in at most.

We really appreciate the decent amount of USBs dotted throughout the van, while storage in the rear bedroom is also good.

Bailey Phoenix+ 440

• MTPLM:  1347kg
• MiRO:  1197kg
• Payload:  150kg
• Shipping length:  6.88m
• Width: 2.21m
• Lounge is a bit small for more than four

This is a lightweight and compact Bailey caravan that includes a rear washroom and a corner bed.

Due to its shorter length, there have been some compromises in the lounge. For instance, if you’re planning to host a gathering when you reach the site, you may want to consider an awning to give yourself some extra space. However, comfortable settees are provided, with daylight flooding in through the big window.

As evening comes around, you can rely on two LEDs and two directional spotlights, while a Truma Combi 2 heating system will keep everyone warm.

The kitchen has a gas-only four-burner hob, with a separate oven and grill. As well as this, you’ll find a 98-litre half height fridge, although we think this could be a bit on the small side for four.

We’re also fans of the built-in ceramic plate the Phoenix’s microwave comes with; it means you don’t need to worry about it sliding out and breaking when you’re towing the caravan.

A comfortable rear double bed has some handy corner shelves. When it comes to the front lounge, we found the size of the settees meant they can only really be used as single beds for anyone under 4ft 11in, but, the slats can be pulled out easily to make up a double.

Bailey Pegasus Grande SE Ancona

• MTPLM:  1600kg
• MiRO:  1435kg
• Payload:  165kg
• Excellent kitchen and washroom
• Great lounge
• Fridge could be bigger

This Bailey caravan really impressed our judging panel at the Practical Caravan Awards 2022, where it won the best family caravan  category.

The 8ft-wide five-berth also made it onto our best caravan round-up, with the single-axle tourer boasting great storage options and a homely lounge.

A central window, side windows and two roof lights ensure the front lounge is well-lit. There’s a table that could easily seat six, although storing it could be tricky, as it needs to go in a central wardrobe that also houses the pedestal leg, the top of the rear lounge table, and infill cushions for the beds.

The caravan also boasts a nice rear lounge. We like how it feels like a proper lounge, an effect that’s achieved by having the ‘L’ settee facing away from the washroom.

Another useful addition is being able to use a concertina partition to shut off this area – a welcome touch for a family caravan, we think.

We’re also big fans of the kitchen; we’d consider it nothing short of excellent for the price you pay. A generous work surface is provided, and it’s also nicely lit, thanks to LEDs and a window. There’s a four-burner dual-fuel hob, a separate oven and grill, and four power sockets, as well as a sink and a microwave.

One thing we would like to have seen is a bigger fridge – it’s only 103 litres and is half-height, so it could be a squeeze to get enough food in.

The washroom is also excellent, with a huge shower cubicle and and large lit mirror being just two of the features to impress us.

The front lounge settees provide comfortable single beds, with the option of creating an excellent double if required. In the rear lounge, you can put up a bunk and also a double.

Bailey Unicorn Vigo

• MiRO:  1430kg
• Payload:  170kg
• Shipping length:  7.34m
• Width:  2.26m
• Bright and cheerful lounge
• Comfortable bed
• Clear window in the washroom

This four berth Bailey caravan is a single-axle model.

It’s an arrangement that sees a transverse island bed and end washroom, and as far as we’re concerned, this tourer – now in its fifth generation – looks sleeker than ever.

We’re fans of little additions such as the service light that will make life a lot simpler when you’re on site – if you’re looking for somewhere to stay, be sure to take a look at our guide to the best caravan parks .

The cheerful lounge has Light Oak furniture to create a warm interior. We should point out that previous iterations had shelving, but now, the Vigo has lockers that extend to the front – we think this is a practical addition.

It’s a relaxing lounge, with spring settees that are very comfortable and provide a great spot for reclining.

The kitchen is more than adequate too, with a separate oven and grill, a turntable-free microwave and a two-way Series 10 Dometic fridge.

We like how the rear washroom feels nice and bright, with an excellent shower cubicle that contains a shelf, roof vent and hanging rail. However, it only has a single drainage hole, and there’s a clear window too.

We’re also big fans of the island bed. It’s now both larger and more comfortable than before, a feat that is achieved by having the wardrobes curve around the edge.

The settees in the lounge will most likely need to be turned into a double bed – this can be achieved with pull-out slats. As singles, they could be a bit small for adults.

There’s plenty of storage in this caravan, including a massive space beneath the bed which is accessed externally.

Bailey Caravans opens its doors for biennial owners club rally

Caravan Times | 21st September 2012

by Jack Beresford

The doors to the Bailey Caravans factory were opened last weekend, as part of the company’s biennial Works Rally, which saw around 200 outfits from across the country taking part.

Held every two years, this month’s event proved the biggest yet, with many members eager to visit the firm’s South Liberty Lane manufacturing facility, where guided tours were being offered.

These trips offered caravan enthusiasts the chance to see the assembly process behind each and every Bailey caravan or motorhome, which features the patented Alu-Tech construction system.

The two-day event also provided a chance for visitors to meet some of the people behind the development of these tourers, who attended a meeting at Dyrham Park.

Here, they were able to catch a glimpse of the highly-advanced mechanised production line, which has helped Bailey ensure its caravans are sold at affordable prices.

In addition to the in-depth tour of facilities, the caravan manufacturer also held a sale of parts and accessories with all proceedings going to St Peter’s Hospice.

Bailey VIP Factory Tour a BIG HIT!!!

Our second FREE factory Tour offered to Greentree customers took place last Thursday. 18 customers were up at 6.00AM to catch the bus down to Bristol to have an exclusive factory tour whilst the line is in operation – something that no-one normally see’s. The journey was long but enjoyable with everyone joining in the fun of the Neil Greentree Trivia Quiz.

Once there they enjoyed a buffet layed on by Bailey Caravans and met ALL the senior managers before taking the LIVE tour of the bailey caravan and motorhome tour. The customers were wowed by the efficiency and openness of the Bailey workforce, and were invited to ask questions to the line workers. The best way people to express the Day are the customers of course – here is what they thought:

Neil –

May I say a very big thank you from my wife Hilary and myself on the extremely enjoyable trip we had recently to Bailey Caravans.

When we first decided to go on this trip we were concerned about the length of the journey, sitting on a coach to Bristol and back in the same day. We did not need to have any doubts as you entertained us throughout the journey with the quiz and some interesting history about the company which we were unaware of. The visit around the Bailey factory and the goodwill shown by the directors and staff was second to none. It was certainly an eye-opener to see how efficiently the caravans/motor homes were made and we were very impressed by the commitment of the various production teams when assembling the units – well done Bailey.

Lastly, your company organised a brilliant day out for us, and it makes us very proud to think that our association through purchasing/servicing our caravan with yourselves was very worth while – well done and look forward to maybe another one in the future.

Terry and Hilary Harrison

Well what can I say ! The Greentrees Adventure Store free tour to Bailey’s factory yesterday (28 June) was something extra special. The eighteen or so people that made the effort to be standing on the corner of Hurn Road Dereham at 6.30 in the morning had no idea what laid in store for them. A long (but pleasant) coach journey with the weather gradually improving set the tone for the day, by the time we all tumbled out of the coach some six hours later at Baileys premises, the buffet laid on was most welcome. What followed was pretty mind blowing, to see the actual production line in full swing, with caravans coming off the end of the line, and motor homes just starting to be built at the beginning was a logistical nightmare that the workforce seemed to take easily in their stride. From the tour, it became plain the workforce were a happy crew with managers likewise. From the MD down all working to a common goal, including the guys producing the smallest components to the ones putting on the sides and roofs. It was a revelation that cameras were allowed at all times, a tribute to the open manner in which Bailey conduct their business.

All this would not have been possible without the hard work of the Greentrees Adventurestore team in organising the visit, although Neil took the credit on the day, we all know it really was his happy team that organised it even if the original idea was his (I hope I am right, otherwise my next caravan discount has just disappeared ! )

Neil had produced a Bailey/ Greentrees trivia quiz which kept most guessing for an hour or so of the long trip, and in his inevitable way, once he had the microphone the banter and facts poured out non stop, ever thought of being a tour guide Neil ?

Anyway , no matter who’s idea it was, who organised it, an excellent if long day was had by all, so Neil, I for one, and I’m sure I am not alone in this, thank Greentrees for the unique opportunity to visit the Bailey factory in full swing and actually see what goes into producing Bailey caravans and motor homes.

Kind Regards Derek Smalley
