A woman who had her annual leave request denied quit her job and bought a campervan to live and work off-grid.

They often start work at 4am and work their own hours. She says the “straw that broke the camel’s back” came in February 2017, when her request for two weeks’ annual leave was denied.

Steve, founder of Roamer Batteries, said: “We couldn’t wait - we went straight to Inverness and bought our first campervan for £5,000. We definitely didn’t play our cards close to our chest or try to haggle - we bought it straight away, and we’ve been on the road ever since.” Steve said: “We were still only travelling in the campervan for holidays. Pre-pandemic, remote working was practically unheard of. We’d do six-to-eight weeks at a time, and the only thing we’d need to pay for is food, leisure - and the occasional ferry ride.”
