Campervan converter spotlight: Spartan Campers

Who is Spartan Campers?

Spartan Campers is a relative newcomer to the campervan scene but, in less than two years, it has made its mark.

Every one of its conversions is handcrafted in the workshop at Spartan headquarters in Coventry. And each one is stylish and modern, but comes with a dash of retro charm.

It’s no surprise that the company has hit the ground running.

While it has only been on the go since March 2022, founders, Gabriel O’Donoghue and Joe O’Leary, have years of experience between them… not to mention loads of passion and expertise.

The pair first crossed paths at a campervan conversion company, where they came up with the idea of working together on a brand-new venture.

With over 15 years of hands-on experience as the former head of production, Gabriel had honed his skills crafting conversion layouts. Joe had a long career in sales, marketing and management. Together, the duo drew up a 12-month plan – and had it executed within a few months!

Marketing Director, Stacey O’Leary, Joe’s wife, says,

What is Spartan Campers’ approach?

Spartan wants to be synonymous with innovation, quality and reliability and takes a customer-centric approach. And that extends to trying to open up the campervan lifestyle to a wider audience.

Advice for buying a campervan

What advice would Spartan give to someone thinking about buying a campervan – apart from buying a Spartan campervan, of course!

It’s vital, they say, that you conduct thorough due diligence on the companies you're considering buying from. Read the independent reviews and make an informed decision.

Stacey says,

What should buyers look out for?

While Spartan campervans certainly boast eye-catching good looks, there’s a lot more to them than mere aesthetic appeal.

Stacey says,

How can you use your campervan?

The massive growth in popularity of campervans in the last couple of years has come with a new enthusiasm for people exploring the UK and reliving the holidays of their childhood, and this is a trend that Spartan has noticed.

Stacey says,

One of the reasons Spartan’s designers are so closely in tune with their customers’ needs is that they are campervanners themselves, so they know first-hand what is important.

Weird customer requests!

Of course, sometimes there’s just no predicting what customers will ask for – and, although Spartan likes to accommodate as many requests as possible, it’s not always practical to do so.

Stacey says,

Those conversations are crucial in the design process – comments and opinions from customers form a vital part of future model development.
