Our Story.

The Custom Shop (formerly North West Dubs) was established with a commitment to style, individuality and passion for vanlife. We keep our finger on the pulse of the vibrant VW scene, but remain proudly independent and innovative in our designs. Our small team have spent years identifying and sourcing the exceptional materials we use for our conversions, and countless hours developing our processes to ensure we are constantly pushing the limits of what is possible.

All the unique vehicles created by The Custom Shop draw on our first-hand experiences during long haul trips, adventure weekends and day outings, so we know exactly what is required to keep friends, family and stuff happy. We can offer the perfect layout, fabrics and materials, interior features, and vehicle capability to suit messy family campers, high-octane surfers, horizon-chasing hikers and the humble chiller.

We truly believe we can create a vehicle without limits.

 

 2017

The Custom Shop (formerly North West Dubs) was established by Ben Morgan, bringing first hand experience of nomadic adventures, adventure sports outings and day breaks with friends and family. Our initial ambition remains to this day: to produce vehicles suited to messy family campers, high octane surfers, stamina fuelled hikers and the humble chiller.

 

2019-20

After early growth at the business, we relocated to a large new workshop and showroom unit in South Liverpool. Our team also expanded to include a diverse range of experts with backgrounds in automotive manufacture, video production and artisan craftsmanship.

 

2021

The challenging conditions of 2020 gave us the opportunity to reflect on the future direction of the business, and founder and creative director Ben Morgan made the decision to expand into new areas: video production and an outdoor store based at our Liverpool headquarters. The Custom Shop was born!
