Our People

Meet the team

The people behind SOEL Outdoors & Automotive — in the workshop, at the front desk, walking you through your hire handover, and making sure every job is done right.

Nathan
Managing Director

Nathan

Nathan is the Managing Director of SOEL Outdoors and the person behind much of the technology that powers the business. With a professional background in IT infrastructure, software development, and project management, he is responsible for the website, online store, booking systems, and the many behind-the-scenes tools that keep the business operating efficiently.

When he's not working on systems and technology, Nathan is heavily involved in the day-to-day running of SOEL Outdoors. He oversees the hire fleet, supports the workshop team, and is passionate about maintaining the high standards the business is known for. From preparing caravans for their next adventure to ensuring the yard and fleet presentation are second to none, he firmly believes that attention to detail makes all the difference. His goal is simple: deliver exceptional vehicles, exceptional service, and unforgettable experiences for every customer.

As Operations Manager, Kimberley is the driving force behind both the workshop and rental operations at SOEL Outdoors. Originally from Wales, she brings more than 15 years of experience as a Service Advisor, having worked with some of the largest dealership groups in both Christchurch and the UK.
