Campervan conversion specialist accelerati­ng

-

A Western Isles-based camper van conversion business has launched, and has already confirmed partners to take operations overseas.

Studio Vans was founded in June by chartered engineer Rob Hall, and makes readyto-go fit-outs for camper van conversion­s. It works with local and internatio­nal makers and designers, and offers a customisab­le service using sustainabl­e and premium crafted materials. It received advice during lockdown from Business Gateway, and obtaining funding enabled it to buy key manufactur­ing products and contribute­d to the fit-out costs required to launch in Balivanich, in a unit leased from Highlands and Islands Enterprise.

Studio Vans has now intro - duced a waiting list to cop e with demand from across the UK, and has already confirmed partners to expand into Australia and New Zealand.

Alastair Macleod of Business Gateway said: “The future is looking very bright for Rob and his team.”
