Scots campervan conversion specialist accelerating

A Western Isles-based campervan 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 ready-to-go fit-outs for campervan 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 introduced a waiting list to cope 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.”
