Meet The Team

Damian

Sales Manager / Co-Founder

From his first beetle refurb to his first splitty Damian has always had a keen interest in everything
VW. He loves his job and can talk Transporter all day. Making sure that the customer gets exactly
what they need, not just what they think they want is always in the forefront of his mind. Sourcing
the right van for conversion be that new or used is another one of his skills. The best part for Damian
is the hand over and seeing the happy customers driving off in their vans.

Ben

Sales Advisor

As one of the Directors sons Ben has always been brought up around VW’s and it was only right that he ended up working in the industry too! Having known VW’s all his life he is knowledgeable on all sorts related to the VW world and keeps up with the latest VW news. He focuses a lot on sourcing
vans for customers as he has built up a lot of good contacts across the country. He’s also your go to
man if you’re keen on part-exing your current vehicle for a van. His hobbies include Snowboarding,
DJ-ing, and camping in his van.

Rob

Production Manager / Co-Founder

That one man every company needs! Rob is the director in the background. A logistics guru; he
knows where we source every part, down to the smallest screw and how all our IT and system work. He oversees the day to day running
of the workshop and is a big part of why everything runs so smoothly. Maybe most importantly, he brought the lovely Lotti into all our lives!

Adrian

Workshop Manager

12 years as a carpenter and boat builder has given Adrian a lot of experience that translates well
into van conversion. He is fully skilled in all aspects of the conversion process and has now become our Workshop Manager. He makes sure that all our jobs run smoothly and that each and every van that leaves the workshop is finished to our highest standards. At the weekend you can often find him working on his MG Midget.

Flick

Workshop & Part Coordinator

As the business grew and the volume of work increased, we soon realised that the parts and job
coordination was becoming a full-time job. Along came Flix. VW T5 owner and highly organised she
never sits still. A key member of staff Flix works hard to ensure that parts are in and jobs are booked,
which in turn keeps all our works running smoothly. She also loves to sing and play guitar. She does a
few gigs so look out for her stage name Flixy Chick.

Kev

Carpenter / Fitter

30 years as a carpenter and 11 years at Sunseeker makes Kev a key member of staff. As our longest serving member of staff he has been with Wessex Vans from the early days. He’s highly skilled and hand built our very first units, leading him to being very involved in much of our design work. He
takes on a lot of our bespoke and commercial works and is currently showing the way to a couple of
our newer members of staff.

Dan

Carpenter / Fitter

Dan has been a carpenter for the whole of his career. He spent a lot of time building high end
wardrobes and furniture. These skills transfer nicely over to his job with us. He has a keen eye for
detail and only perfection will do.

Grant

Senior Technician / Fitter

Mad for anything with four wheels and usually singing louder than the radio!! Over the last few
years he has turned his Lexus into a supercar that he shows at events around the country. Grant has
worked from the ground up and is now highly experienced in many aspects of the conversion
process. His passion for cars transfers nicely over to what he does on van conversion work.

martin L

Senior Technician / Fitter

Sees value in everything and can make something out of nothing. Martin loves all things VW and his
current personal project is renovating a T4 roof and fitting it to his van. Now that his van is almost complete his future project is turning a mobility scooter into a working model of his T4 van. Martin has worked from the ground up and is now highly experienced in many aspects of the conversion process.

Ricky

Technician / Fitter

Ricky is one of our newer additions to the workshop and is going through the Wessex Vans training
programme. He is just over halfway through and doing extremely well. His attention to detail is second to none and this shows in all his work. He loves electrics and his wiring is some of the neatest work you will see.

Lotti 

She barks but she doesn’t bite!! Normally found cleaning up the kitchen floor of crumbs or barking at delivery drivers. Loved by the whole team. Yes, she does have a bit of the small dog syndrome but
just say hello give her a stroke and she’s very friendly.
