    VW Campervan Builder

    I Left my job at North Tyneside Council to chase my dream of running my own campervan business. Even in this strange current financial climate I was able to do it and enjoy it. I decided not to invest more money into this and to go back to the job I know best. I still have this business but its on the back burner.
