We are delighted to announce a new partnership with leading outdoor and clothing brand: Ellis Brigham.

Ellis Brigham started in 1933 in Harpurhay, Manchester. The company was founded by Frederick Ellis Brigham who set out to make and expertly fit high-quality walking boots and cycling shoes.

Ellis Brigham have expanded hugely since then but are still family-owned and passionate about what they do. Ellis Brigham is the UK's premier retail store and online shop for mountaineering and camping equipment, outdoor clothing and ski and snowboard gear. They now own a number of stores, stocking inspiring brands and trailblazing products to make your time outdoors even more rewarding.
