A bit about PECO
A world-class manufacturer of model railway products, and leading publisher of magazines and books, PECO was established in 1946 and is a forward-looking family company with a long tradition of innovative thinking. Located in the picturesque village of Beer in East Devon, we produce high specification, technically superior model railway track, plastic kits, and accessories for the model railway hobby at our two manufacturing sites at Beer and Buckfastleigh. We also publish the UK’s best-selling model railway magazine, the Railway Modeller. Our market-leading products and publications are distributed to businesses and retailers throughout the UK and in more than 30 countries around the world.
Alongside the factory and head office in Beer is Pecorama where we host a number of railway themed events throughout the season. Pecorama has award winning gardens, stunning sea views and one of Britain’s finest 7.25-inch gauge railways, where a fleet of steam locomotives pull passenger-carrying trains on a mile long route through the grounds, over bridges, through steep-sided cuttings and a long, dark tunnel. As a company we have experienced significant growth over recent years enabling us to expand production, and we now have a team of 140 people. This is an exciting opportunity to join PECO and be part of our amazing journey.
