Paul Royall
Lead Engineer - working at Bailey since 1998

I started working for Bailey as an agency worker, planning to stay until I got a ‘proper job’.

More than 22 years later, I am still here, and I have found my proper job with a company that has allowed me to develop not only professionally, but also personally, making great friends along the way and working for a business that really cares about its people.

Bailey is a company of opportunity, not many people can say their employer gave them the opportunity to drive Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. (even if it didn’t quite go according to plan!)

I have seen a lot of positive change and there has been significant redevelopment of the site as well as the introduction of new products.

I think Bailey is a great place to work, and I would recommend Bailey as a place to work to anyone.

Claire Woods
PRIMA and Aftercare Director - working at Bailey since 2018

I joined Bailey in 2018 as a Finance Business Partner to the Group’s Parts & Accessories business, PRIMA Leisure. A key reason for wanting to join Bailey was the company’s heritage and family ownership, as well as the loyalty of the workforce.

Since joining I have been given many development opportunities and my role has expanded beyond finance. I have been fortunate enough to work closely with all areas of the business and broaden my experience in operations, contributing towards my promotion to PRIMA & Aftercare Director.

None of this would have been possible without the exceptional support I have received from the business and the care and commitment afforded by the team.

Bailey is a great place to work where everyone’s contribution and commitment is valued, I would highly recommend it as a place to work.

Nicholas Hedworth
Industrial Placement 2020/21

I am currently studying Engineering at Bath University. I was recruited to Bailey back in mid-October to complete a year in industry placement. I wanted to find an exciting company to complete my placement with. Whilst I didn’t really know anything about leisure vehicles at the time, from researching about the company, I thought it would be a nice new challenge. The people dealing with my application were very helpful, and a few days later, I was having an interview! I think about a week or two later I was starting at the company, so overall super quick!

The introduction process was very organised, I got a tour around the factory which I found very impressive, coming from a small company before. The people introducing me were very friendly and always happy to help with any questions I had. In the beginning, I was involved with some simple CAD modelling work, but I quickly picked up other responsibilities, such as helping manage ECNs and investigating manufacturing issues.

Working for Bailey has taught me a lot about how a company is managed and the decisions that have to be made. Overall its been a brilliant experience and one that has set foundations for the rest of my career!
