Meet the team!

The Directors - Catherine and Stephen Bunn - Having camped and caravanned since young, both Catherine and Stephen have a passion for campervans and motorhomes. Catherine established Highland Campervans in 2007 with a small hire fleet, but the business has developed over the years to become the specialist centre in the Highlands for Motorhomes and Campervans. Out-growing its first premises, Highland Campers moved to Kerrowaird (an old dairy farm) in 2010. After some renovations and updates, the old milking parlour was transformed into an accessories shop, whilst the cow barn was re-born as an NCC Approved Workshop. The farm-yard area was landscaped and the NCC Approved Motorhome Dealership took shape. Never ones to rest, Catherine & Stephen have continued to invest in Highland Campervans with plans for a large-scale expansion of the site in progress, ensuring that Highland Campervans can continue to offer first class facilities for many more years to come. 

Operations Manager - Jo Page - Jo has been with Highland Campervans since 2016, originally looking after the hire fleet and then being promoted to help oversee the whole business. Jo previously owned a 4 star guest house in Inverness, so has excellent experience in the Highland hospitality industry. Jo is delighted to welcome customers to Highland Campervans and assist them with every step of their motorhome journey. Jo also helps look after the social media pages for Highland Campervans and does lots of great collaboration work with other Highland businesses. 

Hire Fleet Co-ordinator - Andy Beaton - Andy joined Highland Campervans in 2018, assuming responsibility for all aspects of our hire fleet. Andy has a customer service background and in a previous role has driven all over the Highlands, so is very knowledgable about the amaxing places to visit.

The Cat - Hades - Chief mouse-catcher and guardian of the workshop. Hades joined the team in 2010 and works very hard at keeping small creatures away from the farm buildings. Adopted from a rescue centre who were struggling to find a home for his 'anti-social' tendencies, Hades joined the business with his bed in the barns. He has since decided that Kerrowaird Farm and Highland Campervans is his ideal home - and his anti-social tendencies have (almost) disappeared!  Hades is an outdoor cat and is not supposed to be inside the reception or campervans - please feel free to nudge him outside if he sneaks his way in!

Neil Hillyard - Accounts Advisor. Neil joined the team in summer 2011 to help Catherine and Stephen keep a financial eye on the growing business. With huge investments in the workshop and shop, Neil looks at the numbers behind the scenes and checks that each area of the business is healthy and growing steadily. An invaluable asset to any business!
