One of the UK’s Leading 
Vehicle Conversion Specialists

MIS Conversions was founded by Stuart Parkin, delivering mobile installations of vehicle tracking systems for LCV and HGV fleets across the UK. During this early stage, Stuart recruited trainee James Murray—now the company’s Production Manager—establishing a long-standing commitment to developing talent from within the business.

Mark Warner joined the business as a 50% shareholder, bringing commercial focus and strategic ambition. Under their joint leadership, MIS achieved 675% growth in its first year and moved into a 500 sq ft office and warehouse unit to support expanding operations.

Sharon Nixon joined the business as a bookkeeper. Now HR & Facilities Manager and a key member of the Senior Leadership Team, Sharon introduced strong organisational structure and financial oversight that helped lay the foundations for sustainable growth.

The business relocated to Doncaster, securing a 5,000 sq ft office and workshop facility. This move marked MIS’s entry into the LCV conversion sector, delivering racking, beacons, roof bars and a wide range of specialist accessories.

Joe Warner joined the company and quickly became instrumental in developing MIS’s digital presence and early sales channels. Now Sales Director and a member of the Senior Leadership Team, Joe progressed into direct customer sales and played a key role in accelerating growth within the LCV market.

Continued momentum within the LCV conversion sector led to a move into a 30,000 sq ft facility, significantly increasing production capacity and enabling MIS to support larger fleet programmes.

MIS completed its first chassis conversion, opening a new market sector and demonstrating the company’s growing technical capability. To support this diversification, an additional 15,000 sq ft was added to the existing site, expanding total operational space to 45,000 sq ft.

Vantage Systems Racking was launched, allowing MIS to manufacture its own racking solutions in-house following major investment in a Trumpf CNC punch and two press machines.

In the same year, Helen Morris joined the business as an Accounts Assistant. Her exceptional performance and leadership capabilities saw her progress to Finance & Office Manager, becoming a valued member of the Senior Leadership Team.

A further 30,000 sq ft unit was acquired, expanding total office and production space to 75,000 sq ft. This facility became the dedicated chassis and special build centre, strengthening MIS’s capability to deliver complex and specialist vehicle builds.

Robert Hallowes joined the business as Technical Manager and quickly progressed to Technical Director, becoming a key member of the Senior Leadership Team. His expertise and leadership significantly strengthened MIS’s technical capability and product development.

A new production site was acquired to operate as a dedicated body production facility. The 32,000 sq ft site increased capacity for higher-volume output and larger fleet customers. Once fully operational, the facility supported an additional 45 team members and reflected the strong engineering capability across the business.

With continued growth and rising contract volumes, additional vehicle storage capacity was secured. This expansion enabled MIS to store up to 1,000 LCVs on-site, providing the operational flexibility required to support large-scale fleet programmes.

Following sustained growth and multiple major contract wins, MIS consolidated its operations by relocating from the 30,000 sq ft unit acquired in 2019 into a new 155,000 sq ft head office and production facility in Doncaster. This expansion increased total operational space to 185,000 sq ft and created capacity to store more than 1,500 vehicles, positioning the business for its next phase of growth.

The move also brought panel van and body production teams together under one roof at a 200,000 sq ft main production facility with more than 100 production bays, making it one of the largest conversion centres in the country and enabling MIS to support larger fleet projects and continued market growth.
