In , we launched Mountain Warehouse to make the outdoors accessible to everyone by offering value for money product and exemplary customer service.

The outdoor industry had become very jargon heavy and we wanted to create a brand that would cater to our mothers and our neighbour’s kids as well as seasoned professionals who understood the technology.

Our expansion since then has seen the brand grow and the product evolve, but the small family business that makes MW special has remained.

Great product is at the heart of everything we do.

As we expand internationally we employ a team of dedicated diverse people to offer our valued customers the best possible experience when visiting our stores, shopping online and putting our range through its paces.

Welcome to our journey.
