Perthshire-based company moves into holiday homes
A Perthshire-based entrepreneur is entering the hospitality sector.
Morris Leslie, owner of the highly successful national plant hire and sales company and the leading Scottish vehicle auction business which both bear his name, is set to launch Morris LeslieVillages.
The business will offer holiday homes in the region.
Mr Leslie, whose successful business career spans six decades, said:“As a family owned and operated company, we continue to grow and evolve as we never rest on our laurels.
“This concept was already in the planning pre–COVID as we had noted the ever-increasing popularity of staycations which has resulted in millions of Brits now opting to holiday in the UK rather than overseas. We coupled that with the undeniable majesty of the Scottish countryside which is enjoyed by so many every year and Morris Leslie Villages was developed from there.
“The pandemic has undoubtedly heightened demand from ‘staycationers’seeking to own a UK based holiday home, enabling them to maximise their leisure time and as a result, sales of static homes and lodge properties are soaring. We anticipate interest in Morris Leslie Villages will come not only from Scottish based buyers but also from those living in other parts of the UK and overseas who have come to love and appreciate the beauty of rural Scotland but are selective and have high expectations for the property in which they and their family stay.”
