Episode 2

In the second episode of the Sure Finance Podcast, David Clelland meets Helen Scott, Director of Sales and Marketing at Aspire Park and Leisure Homes. Filmed inside one of their luxury one-bedroom pods at their manufacturing facility in Porthmadog, North Wales, Helen talks through how Aspire has grown since launching in 2017, now delivering bespoke lodges at the very top end of the market, with premium builds exceeding £1 million.

Specialising in high-end, fully tailored holiday homes, Aspire works directly with clients to create luxury lodges that suit both their lifestyle and the plot they sit on. From layout and positioning through to features such as roof terraces, hot tubs, and open-plan living spaces, each build is carefully considered from the outset.

All lodges are built to full residential specification, meaning they are designed for year-round use. Whether used as a holiday home or a main residence, they are built to be comfortable in all seasons, with a strong focus on premium quality materials and finish.

Helen explains that a significant portion of the work sits in the design stage. Customers can adapt existing layouts or create something entirely bespoke, working closely with the team to shape each detail. That side of the business is led by Technical Director Symeon Gittens, who brings over 20 years of experience in lodge design, helping to balance practical architecture with modern, luxury styling.

The manufacturing side reflects that same meticulous approach. This is not mass production; each premium lodge is crafted by the same dedicated team from start to finish.

With a strong reputation for luxury craftsmanship and a personal approach to building, Aspire has firmly positioned itself at the pinnacle of the leisure home market.
