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.
