About
Hi, I’m Mark, and I founded Herts Caravan Services to bring a new level of technical excellence to the leisure vehicle industry.
For over 30 years, I served as a Cyber Security Engineer within the banking sector. In that world, “near enough” isn’t good enough—success depends on meticulous attention to detail, rigorous testing, and an uncompromising commitment to safety. Today, I apply that same “mission-critical” mindset to the maintenance of your caravan or motorhome.
As a fully trained and accredited member of the Mobile Caravan Engineers Association (MCEA) I combine professional industry standards with the precision of a career spent in high-stakes engineering.
Whether it’s full habitation service or a complex electrical fault, I provide the peace of mind that comes from knowing your vehicle has been inspected to the highest technical standards.
