I cannot recommended Van Giant and Olly enough and it was an absolute pleasure dealing with them. I enquired about a van via the website and within 30mins Olly called me to discuss in detail. I explained that as I would be travelling some distance I needed to know the van was worth the trip. Olly gave me reassurance and described the condition of the van in detail. When I visited the van was exactly as Olly had said. I couldn't be more delighted, the whole experience has been great. I would 100% buy again from them.
What a fantastic company and people, the service of the company and staff was second to none, we bought a 2022 crafter and could not fault van giant at all we will be a long term customer down to the team and especially thank you to Oliver for going above and beyond and honestly from a buying and business point I would not look any further or else we’re to buy a van other than from van giant, Oliver and his team. What a fantastic company
I recently bought a MWB crafter as a panel van. Ollie and the guys were amazing they helped me from start to finish. Would highly recommend anyone looking for a van from these guys. Whether you’re looking for a standard panel van or full on conversion these will do it all. Super honest genuine lads, doing a great job.

After 5+ years of searching for the perfect Campervan (looked at quiet a few over the years from various converters and private sales) I stumbled across “Van Giant” in Carlisle selling “Vans” on EBay and thought id take a look at “Sellers other items” and there was a nice looking Yellow T6 converted van that had everything on my wish list. After a bit of deliberation i thought id give “Olly” a call and see if I could take a look. Unfortunately it was sold but he told me of other stock he had that he could convert for me. We arranged to meet at his workshop so we could discuss possibilities and have a look at some of the “In progress” builds. These guys are great! Very friendly, approachable, patient, tradesmen and not salesmen which is a big positive for me to the point where i usually haggle for every vehicle Ive bought….but didn’t want to from Van Giant for some reason Anyway….deal done and within the timescale agreed on Olly and the team produced the best quality build i have even seen with every picky little detail i asked for carried out to the letter. All I can say is if your looking for a Van, Campervan or someone to convert your existing van give these guys a call and you won’t be disappointed Thanks so much Olly and the team 5 star review from me Martin Rodgers
We come across Van Giant whilst searching for a VW Camper and from initial contact we found that our questions were answered honestly and we arranged to view it and then made the arrangements for the purchase and decided to get the onyx addition kit put on it and side windows, advised on a 3 week wait and that's what it was. Collected at the weekend and we are very impressed with the conversion and how it looks and would definitely recommend Van Giant.

After discussing the client's vision, Van Giant LTD provides a comprehensive, itemized quote. This ensures complete transparency and allows for adjustments to be made to meet specific budget requirements before work begins.
