Hello! Who are you and what business did you start?

My name is Beth Baxter and I co-founded Camper Cafe, a mobile coffee van business. The idea for our business started with my partner’s love for vintage VW campervans. He had a rusty old shell of a T25 Campervan given to him, that he wanted to convert into a trailer for his motorbikes.

When I suggested that a better idea could be to put a coffee machine in the back and make some money with it instead - he agreed. That was 11 years ago and we are now building our 6th mobile coffee unit, supplying some of the UK’s biggest sporting events, working with huge international brands, on commercial and film shoots. Plus my partner also now owns a successful WiFi business off the back of it.

Although we never really thought about this ever becoming more than just a lifestyle business, we found we were turning so much work away from that in 2019 when the company was turning over around £150k from working only 70 days of the year, we decided that I should go full-time to see the potential.
