It’s official—the Pathfinder team has returned! This iconic name in park and leisure home manufacturing is set for a new chapter as the original Pathfinder team resumes its mission of delivering luxury, quality, and innovation. Under the leadership of founder Mike Wills, Pathfinder is back and stronger than ever, supported by a dynamic ownership team committed to keeping the company at the forefront of the industry.
Meet the Team Leading Pathfinder’s Renaissance
Mike Wills returns as part owner, joined by his son Oscar Wills, who steps into the role of Managing Director. Oscar brings fresh passion and forward-thinking to the business, driving Pathfinder into an exciting future. They’re joined by industry experts Reggie Wharton (Operations Director) and Steve Hoare (Managing Director), both of whom now serve as part owners. With many years of experience between them, Reggie and Steve offer unparalleled expertise and a shared vision for innovation and quality.
Together, this accomplished team brings a blend of experience, energy, and dedication that promises a bright new chapter in Pathfinder’s journey.
New Beginnings: Innovations, Operations, and Digital Transformation
From day one, the team has set in motion several significant improvements to operations and design, looking to elevate Pathfinder’s standards in every way possible. Pathfinder’s rebranding journey includes a strategic collaboration with an external media firm, leading to the launch of an all-new website in January 2025. This upcoming website promises a seamless and immersive user experience, featuring a refined line-up of core models and an elegant new look that reflects Pathfinder’s enduring commitment to luxury and quality.
Pathfinder’s Stunning Show Highlights: Harrogate and Beyond
Pathfinder’s fresh direction has already wowed industry insiders and customers alike. At the Great Holiday Home Show in Harrogate, Pathfinder introduced the revitalized HIGH VIEW lodge, which quickly became the highlight of the event. With its thoughtfully designed floor plan, spacious interiors, and sophisticated finishes, the HIGH VIEW is a perfect reflection of Pathfinder’s dedication to blending timeless elegance with modern comfort.
The excitement didn’t stop there. Pathfinder also showcased three standout models at the World of Park & Leisure Homes Show in June, including the Merley, created in collaboration with Merley Court in Somerset. This model pushed boundaries with its modern flat-wall design, bespoke glazing, and sophisticated feature lighting, challenging traditional park home aesthetics. Alongside The Loft and The Astbury, these models embody Pathfinder’s innovative approach to park home design.
A Word from Oscar Wills, Managing Director
Looking ahead, Oscar Wills is eager for what the coming months will bring: “Our team is dedicated to driving Pathfinder forward with a blend of heritage and innovation. The potential for our upcoming designs and projects is huge, and we can’t wait to share them with our customers and industry partners.”
