With dozens of vehicle choices and many more configuration options, we help entrepreneurial people and creative marketing teams take their business into high footfall retail locations and events.

Here are eight brilliant business ideas that might just provide the spark of inspiration your business idea needs.

The classic prosecco conversion

From music festivals to the races to weddings and corporate events, mobile prosecco bars, often serving gin too, are always thriving in high footfall locations across the country. This desirable drink is a fantastic foundation for a mobile business, with a glass of prosecco selling from anywhere between £5 and £10.

Even an entry-level vehicle like the Piaggio Ape Classic has capacity for 500 glasses per event. Bring the fizz and watch the thirsty crowds lap it up. This is a simple mobile business idea that can quickly become very profitable.

Mobile pizza catering

Get a pizza of the good life. If food is more your thing, why not set up a mobile pizza business? This is a great way to get a slice of a big market. Mobile pizza catering is hugely popular up and down the country, whether it’s at street food events, festivals, markets and more.

Sunglasses hut

Picture the scene: thousands of people, the biggest bands, stunning sunshine… and you! Why not set up a business selling sunglasses at festivals up and down the country? A captive audience of thousands of people revelling in the sunshine, having a great time and just looking for that one treat – a pair of stylish shades to complete that Instagram look – and there you are in your super-cool mobile retail shop, selling the biggest brands.

Take your stock of shades to beaches, your local lido – anywhere there’s sun, there’s people needing sunglasses.

Mobile ice cream van

Selling ice creams from a van is nothing new. But how about putting your twist on it? Ice cream today is more than simply soft scoop vanilla and Mr Whippy. Artisan gelato and local farm ice cream offer an incredible variety of tasty flavours, from a simple but oh-so-creamy vanilla to indulgent mash-up treats like rocky road and millionaire’s shortbread flavour.

We’ll create a stand-out conversion that draws in the crowds faster than an ice cream van’s music on a hot summer’s day.

A mobile bar

Do you run a pub or a microbrewery that you want to get on the road? Or do you see the business opportunity in a mobile bar for hire? We can convert virtually any van or trailer you can think of and make it into an attention-grabbing hostelry.

Our production team will work with you to kit out your conversion with everything from draft pumps to chillers to ensure you’re serving up the perfect pint at the right temperature. Our design team will put together a creative treatment that makes your brand shine bright and pull in the punters.

Sweet treats

Whether it’s the kids out shopping with the family or adults feeling a little indulgent, who can resist the pull of sweets and chocolates as they pass by? There are even delivery businesses making a healthy profit out of people who have had an attack of the munchies.

Why not take the sweets to the people with a custom converted van or trailer? Set up in a city centre, in a busy retail park or take a pitch in a theme park. There are endless opportunities out there for creative thinkers.

Mobile advertising van

Get your brand out there with a mobile van or trailer conversion. Use it as a mobile showroom to display your products and meet potential customers in busy areas or at events.

If you’re in the food and drink business, brand up a quirky conversion and take your tasty wares to the public with an attention-grabbing fully branded wrap that’s guaranteed to get you noticed.
