A British Legacy: The Maypole Story
For over 50 years, Maypole has been a cornerstone of the British camping, caravanning, and motorhome industry. What started as a small family business has grown into one of the UK's most trusted names in outdoor leisure accessories, known for quality products that stand the test of time.
The Early Years
Founded in the 1970s during the golden age of British caravanning, Maypole began with a simple mission: to provide reliable, well-made accessories that caravanners could depend on. In those early days, the company focused on essential towing equipment - towbars, jockey wheels, and electrical connections that kept British families safely on the road to their favourite holiday destinations.
Growing with the Industry
As the camping and caravanning industry evolved, so did Maypole. The brand expanded its range to meet the changing needs of outdoor enthusiasts:
-
Awnings and Canopies - From simple sun canopies to full driveaway awnings, Maypole developed solutions for every type of camper
-
Electrical Hook-ups - As campsites modernised, Maypole led the way with safe, certified mains hook-up cables and adaptors
-
Security Products - With caravans becoming more valuable, Maypole introduced hitchlocks, wheel clamps, and other security devices
-
Covers and Protection - Comprehensive ranges of caravan, motorhome, and vehicle covers to protect investments year-round
Quality You Can Trust
What sets Maypole apart is an unwavering commitment to quality. Every product undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it meets the demands of British weather and roads. The brand works closely with industry bodies to ensure compliance with safety standards, giving customers peace of mind with every purchase.
Maypole products are designed with real-world use in mind. The engineers and designers understand that when you're setting up camp in a Welsh field or connecting your hook-up on a French campsite, you need equipment that works first time, every time.
Innovation for Modern Campers
While respecting traditional craftsmanship, Maypole continues to innovate. Recent years have seen the introduction of:
- Lightweight yet durable awning materials
- Smart electrical solutions for modern campervans
- Eco-friendly water and waste management products
- Advanced security systems with modern locking mechanisms
