Edinburgh-based (United Kingdom) glamping site design consultancy is more than doubling the size of its sales staff already in 2022.
Glampitect, UK’s specialist glamping site designer, has revealed that the pandemic-fueled staycation breaks are in high demand and have not shown signs of slowing down, as per a report.
The firm recorded a £1 million turnover last year for the first time since it was founded by Calum MacLeod and Alisdair Young in 2019.
With over 500 feasibility studies completed and dozens more scheduled to be completed by 2022, the company plans to expand its sales department.
Three new recruits are in place under the direction of David Fleming Lewington, the former director of sales and marketing at the National Farmers’ Union Scotland.
Callum Moffat has moved from the University of Edinburgh, and Sam Gryckiewicz has joined from the Henley Hut Co. in Oxfordshire.
“I am delighted to welcome the new arrivals for the next phase of the Glampitect journey,” said Calum MacLeod. “We have grown quickly since formation, and the sales team we now have in place will help us continue that trend.
“David comes with a great pedigree, has a deep understanding of the industry, and extensive contacts in the farming world. He was actually a client of ours last year but liked the way we went about our business so much that he wanted to be involved!”
“Similarly, we had done some previous work with Sam, and his manufacturing experience will be a real asset to us while Callum is looking forward to a new fast-paced challenge after working on some big-scale fund-raising projects for Edinburgh University.”
The new trio will join Daniel Hood and Jack Liddell who work at Glampitect’s Edinburgh headquarters.
