| about us - car boots cornwall |
|
| Geoff & Louise Camden Wiles have been organising car boot sales since 1989 and would be pleased to hear of any other sites that may be available within Cornwall. Do you have suitable land or outbuildings that could earn a substantial rent package for up to 10 hours during our PEAK SEASONS, lasting up to 28 weeks. Please contact us to arrange a visit to your venue!
Contact Geoff on 078 078 078 88 or email us at enquiries@carbootscornwall.co.uk |

| Geoff was born and educated in Croydon, Surrey. After spending 3 years at WINDSOR in HM The Life Guards he started his career back in Croydon at the famous Fairfield Halls as stage manager at the Peggy Ashcroft Theatre.
In 1964 he joined BUTLINS as Entertainments Manager at Filey and Skegness, applying for the position as General Manager of an entertainment complex comprising of Hofbrauhaus Bier Keller, Scamps Discotheques, Studios 1-4 Cinemas and Star Bingo & Social Club in Newcastle upon Tyne. Up to 18,000 customers weekly would attend the complex, which in the 1960's and 70's was a huge success.
In 1982 Geoff took over as Operations Manager at PONTINS in Brean Sands, Somerset where he met his lovely wife Louise. In 1989 they both started CARBOOTSCORNWALL at Falmouth Rugby Club and this year celebrate 21 years, with a potential of other locations being added during 2010. |
At the Hofbrauhaus we employed 30 barmaids to serve this potent bier in HB stein glasses-the good old days! |

| Louise comes from Newcastle up Tyne and planned a life studying law and become a Legal Executive, but decided to join Geoff in setting up Car Boots Cornwall to is present day success. Louise is very popular with the regulars and the business has a good reputation of fairness to the sellers and buyers alike.
Gone are the days when it was the 'dealers only' who got the bargains, now the CAR BOOT SALES start at the actual times advertised and at the 'sound of the horn'
all buyers get the chance of the bargains.
This has been very successful, however there are still the odd dealers who harp on about the 'good old days' when they could "help the sellers to unload their cars" but Louise & Geoff believe in FAIR PLAY all round. During 2009 over 300,000 visits were made to our Car Boot Sales and a lot of the credit goes to ensuring the very few rules are strictly adhered to by all and sundry. |

Our COMMUNITY CAR BOOT SALES are widely spoken of in the South West and the majority of our customers, sellers and buyers support the most popular Car Boot Sales in the South West of England.

| My MOBILE; 078 078 078 88 |
Sunday was a great success after we decided to transfer the Car Boot Sale from MABE to TRURO The decision was made at 6.00am and I put the details on our website and PIRATE FM did some announcements about the change due to the water-logged fields at MABE
My phone 078 078 078 88 received 197 calls to enquire and in all we managed to get over 1100 people to turn up to the event.
Two years ago our friend Sarah told me she had a fantastic mobile number 078 078 078 88 and I offered her £100.00
Nope! said Sarah make it £200.00!! so we did a deal!
The phone has been the greatest asset to our business many people knowing our mobile number but not their OWN!
Thanks Sarah
