About us
We believe life’s better when it’s spent outdoors. Whether it’s hiking up hills, swimming in wild water, or just stepping away from the screen, being in nature helps us feel human again. But to enjoy the outdoors, people need the right kit and advice from a team of people who care.
As a Store Manager, you’ll lead that team. You’ll make sure the store is a friendly place where customers get great advice and the equipment they need for their adventures.
We’re part of the Cotswold Outdoor Group, which also includes Runners Need and Snow + Rock. Together, we offer trusted outdoor brands, expert advice and a real commitment to protecting the planet.
