About Northern Conversions
Northern Conversions is a dedicated campervan conversion company situated on the Northumberland coast, known for building thoughtful, practical, and premium vans. The company, officially founded in 2019 by partners Marrick and Laura, evolved from Marrick's authentic engineering expertise, which began with helping his father convert a VW T4 in 2012. Marrick's background as a fully qualified vehicle technician and workshop supervisor, specializing in complex vehicle electrical systems, forms the technical backbone of their operations, particularly in pioneering safe, gas-free, Victron/Roamer electrical setups. Their approach is deeply rooted in real-world experience, with Marrick and Laura having lived in their own converted LWB Boxer, Tyson, during a journey across Europe, ensuring their designs are truly functional.
The company operates from a state-of-the-art Newbiggin HQ, a renovated former fire station acquired in March 2025, featuring a 5-tonne, 2-post lift and a dedicated spray booth for flawless cabinet finishes. Northern Conversions prides itself on a blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern techniques, utilizing a high-end CNC machine and 3D scanning equipment for millimeter-perfect structural components and custom cabinetry. This precision ensures robust, elegant, and bespoke results. They maintain a limited number of builds at any given time, allowing for focused attention and consistent quality, avoiding a production-line approach. Every stage, from strip-out to sign-off, is completed in-house by their five-person team, with specialist touches like upholstery handled by trusted local partners.
Northern Conversions offers both 'Signature Layouts'—four proven designs like The Blagdon (5-berth Sprinter) and The Budle (2-4 berth VW Transporter)—and a 'Fully Bespoke' design service tailored to individual travel needs. They also provide 'Workshop Services' for specific tasks such as diesel heater installations, electrical upgrades, and habitation checks. The company is committed to using industry-leading components for reliability and safety, partnering with brands like Roamer Batteries and Victron Energy. They also demonstrate environmental responsibility by funding tree planting and climate projects through Ecologi, reflecting a holistic approach to their business and impact.

I’m sitting in my converted camper for the first time and absolutely love what the guys at Northern Conversions have achieved over the past 3 months! It’s incredible! The team are so friendly and genuinely lovely. They gave me their true thoughts which meant at times me not spending more money. They get it! Their attention to detail and craftsmanship is off the charts, and nothing is too much trouble. Thanks Marrick, Laura, Jack and the awesome team! Here’s to many, many more adventures!
FreddieOur van was converted by Marrick and the team. It’s stunning. Beautiful hand built cabinetry, well thought out lighting and fixtures and packed full of high end tech. We’re new to motorhomes and throughout our “learning curve” were always walked through any troubleshooting with patience and understanding over the phone when the internet couldn’t help. At the workshop Marrick showed us how to operate all the systems. He has expert knowledge and experience. I can’t recommend these guys enough.
lloyd goodallEngineer Aftercare is the warranty company that Northern Conversions chose to provide their warranty on their converted campers. We have worked with them for some time now and found them to be diligent and professional to work with.
Martyn RaybouldHighly recommend this superb camper conversions company! Marek and his team offer a professional and knowledgable service including excellent customer care once your van has been converted. Excellent build quality throughout and quality materials used means your camper will be truly stunning and durable. Thank you!!
C MatthewsWe have just picked up our amazing campervan conversion, Basil. Laura and Marrick have both been fantastic throughout the entire process, nothing has been too much hassle for them. They have both been fully on board from the offset, allowing us to bounce around ideas. They kept us up to date with the build progress regularly. The quality of their workmanship is second to none, they really have transformed Basil. The fact that we could specify every single element of our build, meant that Basil is exactly everything we could have dreamed of. Thank you to Laura, Marrick, Luke and the team! We would not hesitate to recommend you.
