WattGuardz & Van Bitz – Looking Ahead Together

[Yorkshirelad175]

And it is a really good one as well.
I am looking forward to treating the boys to a sausage, bacon and egg bap on opening day. And whilst I am getting them one, it would be rude not to partake myself

Ash, your generosity knows no bounds !
Are you sure you have no Yorkshire blood in those veins ???

To use an Australian expression that I believe is a good way to do business. "Make sure that, when a deal is done, everyone involved is able to get a drink out of it."

I don't know any of the people or have any experience of either of the companies, but I recognise a rare, sensible and mutually beneficial business agreement when I see one.

I think this puts both companies in a really good light and wish them both every success.

Been dealing with vanbitz from when they were in Brixham it's a long way from Ilkeston for a weekend job but worth the trip and the money.Taunton is easier to get to and if the m h is changed Ashley will be one of the first phone calls

Hi Ash = reading your original post, it’s not clear me if you will be selling Growler and Strikeback / immobilized / MetaTrak in the future? We have had impeccable installation and service from your good self over the past 10 years - whenever needed. The product has been amazing and would not hesitate in buying the same solution on our next van.

What’s the score?

 

[Sprocker]

Ash I still haven’t forgiven your father eddie for sending me into Taunton while the alarm was fitted.

He even gave me directions to the pub and then expected me to understand or remember a single word he and his team said about 5 hours afterwards

Good luck with the new venture.

We had exactly the same recommendation from Nick when we had our recent installation. The beer and pie lunch was very good though......

 

[Stewen]

Congratulations Ash on achieving a smooth deal.
I’m not a customer, but maybe tempted with 15% off .

I am unable to use the specific names as they are tied to Van Bitz, however the products I am using are from my suppliers that I have used for the past 20+ years.
Same solution, same trusted installers, same dedicated aftersales service.

Hi everyone,

As promised, I wanted to start a new thread to share some important updates about the future of both WattGuardz and Van Bitz.

I’m pleased to announce that Darrel and I have reached a positive and mutually beneficial agreement that ensures continued support for all existing and future customers. We’ll be working closely together to make sure this transition is as smooth as possible for everyone.

Effective 2 June 2025, WattGuardz will be taking over the warranty of all Van Bitz customers.
We will continue supporting you with the same care and attention you’ve come to expect.

This is a significant and positive step that should provide peace of mind for all involved.

What’s next for Van Bitz?
I’m happy to share that Van Bitz remains strong and is actively focusing on restaffing and potentially restructuring the business. Their priorities include growing motorhome and caravan sales, exploring the addition of habitation checks and possibly servicing. Aftermarket equipment installations may return in the future including the alarm systems. Updates will be shared by Van Bitz as plans evolve. Obviously I am fully supportive of there new ventures and it would be amazing if everyone can continue their own support as well of a well-known company that we all love.

Bookings and Workshop Location:
In the meantime, WattGuardz will be fulfilling all existing Van Bitz bookings. The only change is that the work will now be carried out at our new workshop just 4 miles away. Cornish Farm Touring Park remains fully operational, and we’re pleased to continue offering a complimentary night’s stay at the campsite for our customers.

This has been an emotional week for all of us, but I’m truly happy that this transition has been so amicable. I’d like to sincerely thank Darrel and Jessie and wish them the very best. I’m also looking forward to continued collaboration that will only strengthen what we offer to you, our valued customers, both now and in the future.

I would also like to remind everyone that we have your exclusive introductory offer of a 15% discount across our full product range. This offer will run through to the 30 June 2025.

Our website is still in development, but we're getting much closer for its launch. In the meantime, if you would like a copy of our current price list and product offerings, please send us an email.

Kindest regards

Great post Ash.
The thing that stands out is the reassurance to customers and both businesses being committed to looking after them.
Without customers there is no business. Look after them, and they'll look after you.

 

[FZ]

Very happy to see that this parting us in amicable terms and hope and wish both businesses a successfully future

 

[FZ]

AshWattGuardz -you are welcome but apologies for the iphone auto-decorrections.
I have also emailed you too

 

[Backlanes]

Hope it all works out as planned!
