JB Group will subscribe for over 10 million new shares at $0.3072 each, injecting $3.21 million into Camplify and becoming a substantial 12.7% shareholder.

Leveraging JB Group’s Extensive Network
Alongside the share placement, the companies have executed a binding Strategic Services Agreement (SSA) that will see Camplify’s offerings integrated across JB Group’s national dealership network. This includes rolling out Camplify’s Managed Services, covering vehicle handovers, maintenance, and reporting, at key JB Group dealerships in locations such as Pakenham, Newcastle, Burpengary, and Perth.
Additionally, JB Group will actively promote Camplify’s marketplace and Club Camplify membership program to its extensive customer base, both in-store and through its media asset, Whatsup Downunder, a leading caravan and camping lifestyle platform. This multi-channel approach aims to accelerate Camplify’s market penetration and brand visibility.
Governance and Growth Implications
As part of the agreement, JB Group will nominate a director to Camplify’s board, signaling a deeper strategic alignment and collaborative governance. Camplify’s CEO Justin Hales highlighted the partnership as a catalyst for scaling their Managed Services and Club Camplify offerings with capital efficiency, emphasizing the shared vision to capture greater market share.
JB Group’s spokesperson echoed this enthusiasm, noting the synergy between the companies’ complementary strengths, from manufacturing and retail to media and marketing, positioning them for a new growth phase in the competitive Australian RV market.
Looking Ahead
The placement is expected to complete by 10 November 2025, with Camplify hosting a call to discuss the partnership’s details and outlook. Investors will be watching closely to see how this strategic alliance translates into operational execution and financial performance in the coming quarters.
Bottom Line?
This partnership marks a pivotal step for Camplify’s Australian expansion, but execution will be key to unlocking its full potential.
