Major expansion plans for luxury lodge makers
Pathfinder Homes have announced an expansion leading to the recruitment of at least 50 new team members.
The Newton Abbot based, UK’s leading luxury lodge manufacturer plans to create new apprenticeships and skilled jobs in the forthcoming year. The new recruits to Pathfinder Homes will work in a range of areas, including carpentry, painting and decorating, plumbing and even sales, accounts and HR.
Pathfinder Homes has recently become the only lodge manufacturer to win the prestigious ‘Ultimate Lodge of the Year Award’ for three consecutive years and have always focused their attention on quality and innovation.
Steeped in traditional values and strong morals, Pathfinder Homes’ roots were firmly planted in Tedburn St Mary Devon, trading as Pathfinder Workshops, part of Ten Wide Limited. Eleven years ago, Mike Wills, Pathfinder Homes Managing Director moved the Head Quarters during an earlier expansion to Heathfield Newton Abbot. Now situated in the heart of Devon, Pathfinder Homes have continued to build on their success striding from strength to strength, year on year.
The thriving industry has experienced unpredictable and substantial growth other the last few years and Pathfinder Homes are set to expand again, and rapidly in order to meet increasing demands.
Following a successful 2014 and securing substantial business in the first half of 2015, the factory has now reached maximum capacity.
Mike Wills states “The Company’s future as the UK’s leading luxury lodge manufacturer hinges on finding the right skilled team to carry us forward for future generations. We are also responsible for young people acquiring the skills with the correct support and training necessary to create successful careers. I’m thrilled that Pathfinder Homes will be offering so many opportunities for residents of the South West and that they will start their careers at such an exciting time in the company’s history.
“You won’t find anywhere else to work quite like Pathfinder Homes. We believe in innovation, inspiration and adaptation. We believe our people are our strongest asset and have plenty of opportunity for ambitious and passionate people. If you are enthusiastic, motivated and a hard worker, we would love to meet you.”
