Brinkley RV Draws Crowd of 2,000 to Third Company Picnic – RVBusiness – Breaking RV Industry News
Emerging RV manufacturer Brinkley RV on Saturday (Aug. 17) drew an impressive crowd of 2,000 people – including employees and their families — to the towable RV builder’s third company picnic held on the grounds of northern Indiana’s Shipshewana Flea Market near the Michigan State Line.
And as these pictures indicate, things went well for Brinkley, according to President and co-founder Ron Fenech regarding a company that was actually established on paper only a couple of years ago that currently employs just over 800 people at a 4-building, 250-acre campus on the southeast side of Goshen, Ind., in addition to two leased production facilities.
Brinkley, company spokesmen indicate, is expecting to add a fifth Goshen plant at its Goshen headquarters in the near future.
“This is actually our third picnic,” said Fenech. “Our first picnic we were just scratching the surface of trying to put a team together and we had a small picnic in the back yard of partner and co-founder Micah Staley. It was small and intimate, but we knew it was the beginning of something that was going to evolve.
“And, you know, the funny thing about it is it’s not like there’s all that much to do at an event like this,” added Fenech, who’s well known for his previous involvement with key RV builders Keystone RV and Grand Design RV. “It’s more about our team being together, which is what they seem to respond to the most.”
