We are proud to announce that we have become employee-owned.
Peak Retreats has become the first ski company in the UK to be employee-owned.
Putting our passionate, experienced and dedicated team at the heart of the business, this will allow them to develop, innovate and evolve the company, with a real stake in its future.
Peak Retreats was founded in 2002 by Xavier Schouller and Nathalie Soma, with Olivier Lepoureau joining in 2005. The founders have now transferred their ownership to an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) which ensures the preservation of the company’s values and culture as we look to an exciting future.
Xavier, Nathalie and Olivier will remain in the business ensuring a smooth transition, with senior management stepping up as Directors. Alison Willis becomes Managing Director, Nicola Moss, Marketing Director, and Tim Reed, Sales Director. Nathalie Soma stays on as a Director, completing the senior leadership team.

Though we are the first ski holiday company to become employee-owned, we join a community of employee-owned businesses that includes John Lewis Partnership, Riverford Organic Farmers and Go Ape.
What does this mean for our clients?
In short, it’s business as usual at Peak Retreats. You’ll still receive the same personal service, expert advice, and handpicked ski holidays that we’re known for. Our long-standing relationships with suppliers remain strong, and our commitment to offering authentic, experience-rich holidays to the French Alps hasn’t changed.
The key difference? You’ll now be booking with a company where the team has a real stake in its future. That means the people you speak to are even more invested in delivering the exceptional service and attention to detail that Peak Retreats is built on.
