Vanbus

Vanbus embarked on its journey into van and campervan conversions in the late 1990s, born from the founder Ian's personal need for a versatile vehicle that could serve as a workhorse during the week and a surf wagon on weekends. This initial creative adaptation of a Vauxhall Midi sparked a passion for van life, laying the groundwork for the company's establishment. Despite a decade-long career in aviation technology, Ian's dedication to campervans never waned, leading him to secure a small workshop and begin crafting conversions with the help of skilled friends. Early builds were meticulously handcrafted, fostering a deep respect for the craft that continues to define Vanbus's approach.

Over the years, Vanbus has significantly expanded its operations, moving into a larger workshop equipped with advanced machinery, including CNC machines, upholstery areas, and a dedicated display and meeting zone. This growth has allowed the company to refine its product range and offer a comprehensive suite of services, specializing in full or partial conversions for various vehicles, particularly VW Transporters. Their expertise extends to flat-pack and bespoke furniture solutions, ply lining, CNC parts, vehicle sales, and automotive upholstery. The company prioritizes safety and quality, utilizing highly certified products from trusted brands such as VW, SCA, RIB, REVO, REIMO, Skyline, SOLOW suspension, THQ parts, and BILSTEIN.

All seating systems provided by Vanbus are fully crash-tested and certified to meet current regulations, ensuring passenger safety. Furthermore, all electrical and gas installations undergo certification upon completion, providing customers with peace of mind. The team, led by owner Ian and workshop manager Charles, draws on extensive knowledge and personal experience as passionate van owners to deliver top-quality products and services. Vanbus is committed to continuous evolution, constantly seeking better gear and smarter solutions to meet customer demands and uphold its motto: "Adventure Your Way."
