ABOUT SAFARIQUIP LTD

In 1993 Safariquip moved from a commercial unit on a Stockport trading estate to a 300 year old stone building below the ramparts of Peveril Castle in Castleton in the Peak District.

Julian explains how his business moved from an industrial estate in Stockport to the little shop tucked away in the picturesque village of Castleton:

 “After 7 years of crawling in the car along the A6 to and from work each day I decided it was time for some fresh air!  I had started my “SafariQuip” mail order business after returning from almost four years spent driving the length and breadth of Africa and literally working my way around. I had several interesting jobs during that time including building houses for aid workers in a remote Nuba town in Sudan and developing gold extraction processes on mines in South Africa."

I started SafariQuip selling the hard-to-find expedition gear that a long overland Land Rover trip requires, then, as time went on and the long haul holiday market began to boom, I expanded the business to sell travel accessories and clothing to adventurous and daring holiday-makers.

Moving to Castleton was just another step forward. As a boy I had spent days and weeks wandering around the Peak District - I used to know Kinder Plateau like the back of my hand.  It was wonderful to find old premises just longing to be restored and turned into an outdoor shop.  The move gave us more space to operate SafariQuip's mail order business, in

the close ties with the SafariQuip travel side of the business

Nowadays AdventureQuip and SafariQuip operate side by side as different parts of Safariquip Ltd. Visitors to the AdventureQuip shop can buy SafariQuip products over the counter. If you can't see what you want, don't be afraid to ask staff as we don't display all our travel products in the shop.

Julian McIntosh started SafariQuip in 1982 to help individual overlanders and explorers find the right gear for their expeditions. Since then SafariQuip has worked closely with many firms to outfit their staff with the necessary equipment for travel overseas. We have supplied major firms in the television, oil, survey and travel industries, many of them household names.

Using our experience outfitting groups for expeditions, we carefully selected a range of products for individual travellers and holidaymakers and so launched the "Travel Accessories" range in 1990. This range has been steadily expanding ever since. In 1998 we created our first e-commerce website and by 2003 we were printing our last full colour brochure as bytes replaced branches. Using the website gave us more flexibility and allowed us to offer more up-to-date products as well as saving forests. Now new products can appear on the web the same day we receive them and be with our customers a day later.

In April 1993, SafariQuip moved into the Peak District National Park and opened an outdoor equipment shop "AdventureQuip" in the historic village of Castleton. The shop occupies a centuries old stone building, just below the ramparts of Peveril Castle (one of the oldest stone castles in Britain.) The shop caters for walkers and visitors to the Peak District's wild moorland and craggy dales as well as travellers heading further afield. Our range of quality outdoor clothing and equipment is carefully selected and is a perfect complement to our travel range, thus catering for both hot and cold climates!
