Jerba Campervans to extend workshop

ac5f27bc-6118-4c18-bfa5-e3b8a91c6a62

Scottish campervan converter, Jerba Campervans, will increase its production capacity following a £210,000 investment in an extension to its existing workshop, which has just been granted planning permission

The new facility, which is hoped to be completed by the end of April 2023, will bring the converter’s workshop to 1,000m2 and will provide the space for new equipment as well as a bespoke spray booth for campervans and leisure vehicles, which, the converter says, will be the first of its kind in Scotland.

Co-founder, Simon Poole, says,

 

At Jerba, we are always looking for new ways to develop our services and output as demand for our products continue to rise. The workshop expansion is the first of many plans to expand our capacity and productivity, and therefore we are ecstatic to have received planning permission for the extension.

An in-house spray booth will ensure that we have far greater control of our production and will allow us to increase the variety, scale and frequency of paint jobs that we can undertake. There is definitely a market across Scotland for specialist paint spraying in the leisure vehicle sector and we are confident that we will be able to fill that gap.

Without doubt the last year has been extremely challenging for everyone within the manufacturing sector, and so this is a terrific lift for the company and for our team as a whole as we look forward to a prosperous 2023.

Jerba became employee owned in 2018 and is the only firm in Scotland to be officially recognised by Volkswagen as a Motorhome Qualified Converter.
