I started my early career in estate agency in London through 1989 to 1990 during the big crash, then studied classic car restoration at a college in Colchester. I then joined the motor trade in car sales working for Nissan and BMW main dealers.I subsequently went on to run my own successful business selling used cars in Portsmouth. The current climate lead me to consider a new career in motorhomes joining a well-known motorhome dealer in Portsmouth where I gained experience mostly in German marques; Carthago; Burstner; Knaus; Carado; Laika and Bailey. I look forward to lending my motor trade sales and marketing experience to my new Brokerage role so that I can offer all of you a professional service that will assist in generating a successful sale of your loved motorhomes. In my free time, I still have a keen eye for classic cars and I like to go sailing or mountain biking.
"Giles has just sold our motorhome (second vehicle we have sold through him) and he is great. Knows his stuff and you could not ask for more. You get what you pay for."

"The utilisation of Motorhome Depot enabled us to sell our motorhome quickly and efficiently. As we were out of the UK it was important to have a company that listened to our requests and kept us very well informed on progress. Giles Usher gave us great service."

"We bought a VW T5 campervan through Motorhome Depot with Janet Hyde & Paul Barnett acting as the brokers for the seller. We felt more confident buying this way than from a private seller, and Janet & Paul did a great job in terms of communication and being on top of what needed to be done. There was no pressure to push the sale through, their photos and description of the campervan were really helpful and fully accurate, and they worked around our times for when we could view and then in due course, collect it."
S O'Sullivan
"Fantastic service from Giles! The entire sales process was managed very professionally with excellent communications. We could not be happier and are very happy to recommend using this service."
Chris Smith
"Giles could not of been more helpful when I brought my motorhome he picked me up and tock me over to collect it and explained all its workings. As I was knew to it all he was also always at the end of the phone to answer any questions..Could not of been happier...many thanks for all your help.."
Lorraine Bailey
"A very speedy and efficient service resulting in a rapid sale to lovely customers. Giles is completely fair with a great deal of motorhome knowledge."
Andrew Kern
"Giles was very knowledgeable and friendly and gave me confidence that I was making a good decision on my first Motorhome purchase. Giles made sure that the van was in tip top condition when collecting, even changing a water pump that he noticed was dripping a bit. He continues to support me as I have questions and need help and I would not hesitate to go to Giles to both buy and sell a Motorhome."
Linda
"Giles made the process of selling our campervan a pleasure and he was very experienced and knowledgable and made the whole process simple.The handover to the purchaser was very thorough and i even learnt some things about my own van during the demonstration."

"This is the second time we have used the ‘Motorhome depot’. The first time was just under thee years ago when we bought our motorhome through Mark Anderson. It was a pleasure to deal with Mark and he was very helpful when a fault was identified during the purchase and he stayed in contact till the end to resolve the problem and did not just leave us to deal with the warranty company on our own. We loved our Motorhome we bought through him and would not hesitate to recommend him.The second time was recently through Giles Usher when we sold the above mentioned motorhome. Everything was ‘smooth’ sailing from beginning to end. Giles dealt with all the advertising, viewings and potential buyers. As it turned out the first people to look at it bought it so we were all very pleased! I would not hesitate to recommend Mark and his wife Maria Anderson or Giles Usher and the motorhome depot itself - They take all the worries and concerns away with all the ‘scammers’ around. The other products/services they offer like warranties and Hab checks etc have been excellent as well - we have had to make a couple of claims and had no issues at all and payouts were swift. I am hoping to find out next motorhome through them as well!"

"Our broker, Giles Usher, was fantastic. He made the entire transaction smooth and accurately depicted the motorhome. Despite the long journey from Sheffield to Portsmouth, I trusted him completely that the motorhome was exactly as described. And indeed, it was in excellent condition, just as he had stated. I also had the opportunity to meet the vendors, who were wonderful people, and it gave us a sense of where the van was coming from.Giles went above and beyond by picking me up from the train station. He patiently answered all of my questions and dedicated ample time to explaining the van's features. He only left once I was completely satisfied with everything. Additionally, he even assisted with setting up the tax and V5 document. His exceptional service made this significant purchase much more comfortable and reassuring."

"This is specifically for Hampshire area and Giles.I really cannot fault them/him. Open and honest and realistic about what to expect. I followed his instructions and sold the van quicker than I thought for the money I asked for. The money was then transferred as promised.I would happily recommend Giles to friends. Thank you very much."
Paul C
"To be honest I cannot fault them. Completely open and honest and the money was transferred as promised when they said they would.More than happy with the sale. Giles was professional and realistic all the way through the short time my van was up for sale.Saves loads of hassle."
