Alastair & Nick Bramwell
With extensive knowledge of the outdoor industry, gained over the last decade and a half, I have immense enjoyment developing and running Bramwell International as a premium distributor of outdoor equipment. I enjoy spending time in the hills, biking, the traumas of the OMM and a newly reborn obsession with orienteering.
Wide experience of the outdoor industry as a result of 12 years developing and running Bramwell International as a premium distributor of outdoor equipment in the United Kingdom & Ireland.
Interests include running, rowing and Munro bagging - 200+ and counting.
Wealth of experience in sales covering a broad spectrum from Outdoor retail through to National Account Management in FMCG. When Matt isn’t working or climbing he volunteers with his local Mountain Rescue Team and is the current Team leader.

Extensive retail experience having managed an outdoor shop in North Yorkshire and have been with Bramwell International for several years. I play a lot of hockey, but the injuries are catching up with me, so it is now mountain biking which is taking over.

Ideal location is anywhere with snowcapped mountains which are steep and deep!
The office is in a beautiful part of the country surrounded by fields and views as far as the eye can see. The company is great to work for (No I'm not being paid to say that) and we pride ourselves on providing great customer care.
