Holiday home and lodge manufacturer completes management restructure

Victory Leisure Homes, the East Yorkshire-based holiday home and lodge manufacturer, has announced a senior management restructure.

Peter Nevitt, who has led the company since it was launched in April 2009, has been promoted to chief executive, and former director of operations, Gary Corlyon, becomes managing director.

James Doyle, director and board member of J.R. Rix & Sons Ltd – the company that owns Victory Leisure Homes – said: “Peter launched Victory Leisure Homes and has driven it from being a small start-up business employing less than 30 people to a major player employing more than 200.

“The success of the company over the past decade is largely a product of his hard work and dedication, and that of the team he picked and led.

“There are still opportunities in the market place to grow organically but going forward this will take place along a considered acquisitions strategy that will help us strengthen and extend our portfolio. Restructuring the senior team is about making sure we have the right people in the right places to realise that growth as the business matures.”

The restructure comes as Victory Leisure Homes marks its tenth year in business. The company was established at the former-Cosalt Holiday Homes site in Stoneferry, Hull, before moving to its current base in Gilberdyke, East Yorkshire, in 2012.

To mark the milestone, Victory will launch its new anniversary model, the Coaster, in June.

Nevitt said: “We are entering an exciting new chapter for Victory Leisure Homes; the business has gone from strength to strength over the past 10 years and with this restructure and the continued support from our parent company, we can look forward to the next 10 years with confidence.”
