GCD managing director Lee Whiting has engaged the Birmingham-based glamping and eco pod company to assist in the design of a glamping village on the outskirts of the Worcestershire countryside.

The development will offer discreet, sustainable countryside accommodation for short breaks and weekend stays, operating year-round to provide visitors with a flexible and attractive retreat while supporting local tourism.

The site’s location is so far a well-kept secret but it will run off grid and be fully sustainable offering luxury get aways for families but designed to be accessible for all.

Whiting said: We engaged with a number of companies to look at this project for us but Glampitect knew exactly what we needed and have been so easy to work with so far.

They have a history of running glamping sites themselves and so their expertise is the best bar none. More details of this exciting new development will be revealed in the coming months.

Elinor Smith, aged 25 and from Barnt Green, joined us last month to look after our sustainability values and lead us on all things green.

The former Lancaster University student secured a First Class Degree in Geography and a Distinction in her Master’s in Environment, Development and Policy from the University of Birmingham, and cites her passion as the environment and the people who depend on it.

Welcome Elinor who will be working alongside us on numerous projects as we aim to hit our target of net zero by 2040.
