The experience of seeing a plot of land and being excited about its potential was too powerful to allow those barriers to stop our CEO, Calum MacLeod.
Unable to find any specialist designers or architects who really understood glamping, he had to find another way. And by leaning into his professional expertise, he managed to make it work.
One thing Calum understood from the start was the needs of future guests. He paired this innate knowledge with thorough market research to come up with a marketing strategy, which he implemented long before their site was ready to open.
After a steep learning curve, Calum managed to create an award winning glamping site. He used his background in design and CAD, designed the site himself.
After gaining planning permission, he continued to execute plans and opened his first glamping site in 2018. Thanks to the early marketing, the site opened with a fantastic occupancy rate and has continued to attract guests from all across the country.
It was a real no-brainer to take the next step, which was using everything he learned while building his site to help others do the same. And that’s what he (and Glampitect) has been doing ever since.
