The People Behind Scandinavian Homes
In 2005, Dave Gittins gave up his job in engineering and started selling log homes for a friend. After the financial crash, he decided to go it alone, and set up Scandinavian Homes early in 2012.
The new career direction quickly became a family obsession, and now Dave runs the business with his wife Teresa Jones, helping people across the UK make their dream homes a reality, with Scandinavian self build house kits.
The two directors are passionate about what they do, and 100% committed to helping build the perfect home for you.
David Gittins
Managing Director
Dave started his working life as a qualified engineer, but gave up engineering in 2005 when he got the chance to sell log homes and log cabins. He’s very attached to his historic house and garden, although neither really get the attention they deserve as he’s often too busy building houses for other people.
Dave finds it incredibly rewarding to build our clients’ dream homes for them, and he tell us he’s enormously proud of what our team does – we’re proud of him too!
Teresa Jones
Director
When Teresa was a teenager, she loved designing houses and had ambitions to be an architect, but once she realised that she wasn’t very good at drawing, ended up in a career in and around IT.
After 10 years as a Research Analyst with a global consulting company, she finally realised that what she loves best is helping clients fulfil their dreams of building their own homes. So, she threw in the IT towel, and now runs most of the administration of the business when she’s not dealing with customers
