A major ski business – which connects skiers with schools and resorts – has opened its first northern office in the Lake District.
Maison Sport Group, which owns and runs ski lesson booking platform Maison Sport, and international ski school Supreme, has chosen Staveley as its first base in the North.
The London-headquartered company said the expansion marked a significant milestone for Maison Sport as it continues to grow its footprint, following the completion of a successful £2.5million investment round earlier this year.
The company has employed four local residents to head up the office.
Nick Robinson, CEO of Maison Sport Group, said: “We have chosen the Lake District due to the large number of outdoor enthusiasts in the area, and the fact that our busy season is the opposite to most of the local tourist and outdoor industry, which should result in a larger pool of potential employees. The team will be a mix of full time and seasonal workers, with the focus on customer services and sales.”
The independent winter sports booking platform has instructors in more than 364 resorts in Europe, offering tailored individual or group lessons from beginners to very experienced skiers.
