Meet our team
"What a lovely warm bunch Team Orange are" - Eric, Trouvaille Owner
Each and every one of our Trouvaille campervans is carefully put together with attention to detail and craftsmanship by the team at Orange Campers.
​
Between them they bring a wealth of experience to our thriving campervan company.
​
A group of highly dedicated fitters and professionals, who together work their magic to bring you some of the best quality campervans on the market.
​
And you'll be sure to meet many of them on your campervan journey! Jess is often the first point of call, you'll meet Sonya & Richard at the shows, and you'll see the rest of the team when you visit the workshop.
Richard Tomlin
COMPANY DIRECTOR - PRODUCTION - PRODUCT INNOVATION
Richard is our managing director with over 20 years experience building and designing campervans. Although he's too modest to shout about this himself, we'll have you know that he's well respected in the campervan industry as a knowledgeable professional conversion specialist.
Richard is the face of the business, the guy you'll meet on our YouTube channel and in our social media, and he likes to be hands on chatting to customers, keeping the van builds on target, and ensuring that the quality is consistent throughout the range.
When he's not campervanning and exploring new campsites with Sonya and their boys, Rich enjoys a round of golf, especially with his daughter Jess who we'll introduce you to in just a sec.
Sonya Tomlin
COMPANY DIRECTOR - SALES - MARKETING
Sonya is Richard's wife, and is the organisational glue that attempts to hold all of the inner workings of our small business together!
With a background in teaching, Sonya gave up her job teaching languages to secondary school students to come on board full time as a Director at Orange Campers, where she now oversees scheduling, van procurement, staffing, sales, marketing, finance and show organisation.
With all those balls in the air - plus two young boys in the mix - it's no surprise that Sonya's favourite place to be when she can find the time is enjoying a calming swim at Hathersage outdoor lido - she just loves being in the water.
Jessica Tomlin
OFFICE MANAGER
Orange Campers simply wouldn't run the way it does without the help of lovely Jess, Richard's daughter, and (obviously!) a campervan enthusiast too.
Jess works in a variety of roles including materials procurement, general admin, CNC operator, customer support, marketing support, show organisation and sales.
When she's not living the campervan life, Jess is a keen golfer, and even lets her dad tag along sometimes ;)
Sophie
ADMINISTRATIVE COORDINATOR
Sophie is a busy mum and a computer whizz. There's nothing she can not do!
When she finds a rare moment to relax you'll find her on a beach as holidaying is her very favourite thing.
Marc
PRODUCTION MANAGER
Marc has been used to a long commute to Swift Motorhomes where he worked previously, but now that he works 10 minutes from home at Orange Campers he is dreaming up all sorts of new hobbies and has made a start on his home DIY!
Jordan
CAMPERVAN FITTER
Jordan is a highly competent campervan builder and a natural leader who heads up our build team along with John.
Jordan's no-nonsense approach to his work keeps us all on our toes - he's always looking for the next task and making sure to keep moving projects along.
And as a gym enthusiast, he's the least likely of us all to lose in an arm-wrestle!
John
BENCH JOINER
John has many years of experience building for large motorhome company Swift Group. His bench joinery skills are a huge asset to our team, and his extensive knowledge is invaluable when it comes to the research and design of new build projects.
After handcrafting our van interiors to the highest quality in our workshop, John loves to unwind by working in his garden, especially on a long summer evening when the sun shines over Sheffield!
Steve
CAMPERVAN FITTER
Mark
CAMPERVAN FITTER
Mark Whinfrey had already built his own VW campervan before arriving at Orange.
His love of campervans really shows in his work, but it's not just the interiors he's keen on - Mark's drifting hobby means he's always got an eye on speed and performance too.
Jordan
CAMPERVAN FITTER
Jordan’s a big fan of camping (no surprise there!) and spends most weekends off adventuring in his self-built yellow camper.
​
When he’s not on the road, you’ll find him trampolining (yep, really!) or hanging out with his French Bulldog, Beau. Favourite food? Wagamama’s all the way.
Jack
MORALE BOOSTER
An integral part of the team - you can't help but smile when he greets you in the morning!​
Alicia
GRAPHIC DESIGNER
Alicia also shares the same love of the outdoors as the rest of us! You'll often find her using her own campervan on Scout camps, or travelling around the UK.
​
She keeps us in supply of design items for our shows and offers, and works on expanding and updating our ever-growing website.
