To whom it may concern

Lifestyle Motorhomes Ltd is an Ashburton based manufacturing of luxury motor homes.  We have a national client base in New Zealand.  We have researched the Australian market and plan to develop into this area.

Lifestyle Motorhomes have been operating since 2001.  As our business and production expanded we purchased our larger workshops and office block in 2005.  We then extended our engineering workshop in 2008 in preparation for a new project involving Aeromarine and other companies throughout New Zealand.  We currently employ 15 staff and have started interviews to employ another engineer in May and expect to increase staff numbers further in the coming months as this project increases momentum.

Mid 2008, we began discussions with several companies, including Aeromarine Industries Ltd of Timaru, with a view to introducing high technology composite construction techniques into our production of purpose built motor home bodies.  We found Aeromarine to have the technology and the resources to meet our requirements, and subsequently have engaged them to assist us with the design process and to implement and supply us with the production components.  We see this technology as crucial to our future success in the market place, as is our relationship with Aeromarine as a partner in this large project.

We are confident that by utilizing this new technology, we will be able to retain our existing staff levels and offer employment opportunities to future staff as we expand.

Please don't hesitate to contact me, if you require further information or progress reports.

Yours sincerely
