Mobile van or trailer conversion?

Once you’ve confirmed your business idea, we’ll help you decide what mode of transport to go for. Our core vehicle range  includes everything from small, quirky three-wheelers to large trailers but our engineers can convert virtually any vehicle you can think of, whether it’s a popular commercial van or a one-off vehicle you’ve salvaged because of its unique retro look. Your choice will be influenced by the nature of your business; coffee sales can be conducted from the back of a small light vehicle whereas substantial food sales will need a trailer for the storage, cooking area and room for multiple staff. Our creative team will develop a brand and custom paint job for you or reflect your existing logo, if you have one.

Building your business

When we’ve got your detailed brief, it’s over to our production team, who bring decades of experience to your project. They will convert your vehicle according to the agreed plans, adding access and serving hatches and installing all the equipment you need to get your mobile conversion on the road. Then it’s onto the aesthetics, when our team will apply an eye-catching visual concept to the vehicle, whether it’s a paint scheme and logo or a full wrap, designed to your precise specifications. Everything is fully tested and quality assured so your new business is in perfect working order and looking fantastic.

Handover and aftercare

We can honestly say we’re as excited as our customers when it comes to the handover. Our pride in our work means it’s a true delight to see their faces as we unveil their conversion. We also provide training on the equipment and instructional videos to refer back to if you need a refresher further into your journey. Aftercare is a crucial part of our service offering and we’re always on hand to answer your questions as you’re getting started and beyond. We provide advice on servicing your vehicle and equipment to ensure they’re don’t let you down when there’s a queue of hungry or thirsty customers at your door.
