GLAMPSITES SUPPLIER PROFILE Glampsan Waste sanitation solutions for ‘off-grid’ glamping, caravan, camping and event sites What does your company do? If you are diversifying into the buoyant glamping sector, Glampsan supplies an ‘evolution’ of toilet and waste handling solutions. If you have selected your shepherd’s hut, for example, but don’t know how to handle the waste when someone flushes the loo or takes a shower, Glampsan provides you with choices and solutions. How do you do it so well? We have lots of relevant experience in the team. Some of our people have been in the waste industry since the early 1990s, so it’s fair to say they’ve already come across most of the same challenges our customers face today. We’ve been involved in waste as manufacturers and rental companies, so we’ve seen both sides of the portable sanitation business, and some of us are keen caravanners, so we know what’s important for that market, too. Above all, we know waste is a bit of a difficult subject for many, even to talk about sometimes, so we try to keep it as easy as possible by breaking our product offering down into simple guidance on our websites, on our social media platforms, over the phone and face-to-face at exhibitions. Please give us a potted company history We’ve been manufacturing and supplying off-grid sanitation products for the construction and outdoor event industries under our www.plasticsol.com brand since 2010. In recent years we’ve fielded enquiries for those same products from the glamping sector; it’s the same ‘waste’ being flushed away after all. Yet the questions asked by the glamping sector are subtly different, hence the creation of our www.glampsan.com division and the addition of a whole raft of extra products just for the glamping and leisure sectors. Describe your brand proposition We help customers navigate the tricky subject of off-grid toilet, shower and sink waste and offer them choices. Just as the best hi-fi in the world is no good if you have the cheapest speakers, the best glamping pod in the world is no good if you can’t get waste away from it. We’ve listened to our customers and have come up with a range of solutions suitable for their sites. We want to understand customers’ needs and offer the right, long-term solution, not just any old solution. What are your ‘hero’ products? One of our biggest sellers is our lowprofile Flat Tank, which sits unobtrusively underneath your shepherd’s hut etc. to capture waste for later removal by a waste collection company. These allow many sites to start up and make money whilst waiting, and waiting, for planning approval for sewage treatment plants. For campers, it also serves as an Elsan Tipping Point. A superbly flexible product. For the camping and caravanning sectors, Glampsan is the UK and Ireland reseller for superb CampPlus en-suite bathroom and toilet pods. The most popular DUO unit contains two separate en-suite bathrooms in a back-to-back layout. Positioned between two pitches, the DUO will provide each caravan or tent pitch with its own private bathroom facility. Sites will be able to increase revenue and command higher pitch fees while raising customer satisfaction levels and extending the rental season. Our Saniflo sewage lifting stations can pump waste over height and distance while the top end of our waste handling range is a sewage treatment plant, formerly known as a septic tank. We concentrate Glampsan’s efforts on the typical sizes required by smaller glamping sites: the two, three and five person Portapura units are designed and manufactured in the UK specifically for glamping sites, holiday homes, static caravans, site offices, site toilets, garden rooms and small leisure developments. Hot off the press in 2023 is Lapee, our ground-breaking women’s urinal. Any extra special people? Everyone in our team is special to us and we all have slightly different skillsets which complement each other. Whether on the phone, on the PC, loading trucks on the yard or meeting face-to-face, the customer service ethic is ingrained in everyone’s DNA. For us, it’s all about the customer. What are you most proud of? Despite the challenges of recent years we’ve increased the product range, we’ve taken on more people and we’ve grown the business. Why should a customer get in touch? We’re friendly and approachable. We’re committed. We’re not going to supply you something you don’t need. We’re not afraid to say, “We don’t know,” because we will know someone who does. We have the experience and the product range to supply you a solution.
