Excellent, knowledge Staff

I came into the store a little apprehensive about my up coming National 3 Peaks challenge, looking for some help with new boots.
Darren came straight away and offered assistance, far more than I had expected. Darren talked me through the essentials in choosing the right kit, what to look for and how I can tackle the up coming challenge with the right information.
Darren comes from a lot of professional and personal experience in having completed the challenge and many other treks previously and he was so engaging in helping me decide on essential kit.
Darren was patient and allowed me to take my time and ask as many questions as I needed to help me. I was so inspired and felt like I could tackle this challenge with all the right equipment and energy needed. I am grateful for the whole team today, they all made my experience shopping so enjoyable and I’m glad I made the trip to the store - I didn’t need to go anywhere else!

Exceptional advice from Darren

My son and I were in the St Albans branch today shopping for DofE equipment. Darren was exceptional with his advice and knowledge, not only based on equipment but with other useful information too. His customer service was absolutely brilliant and you should be really proud to have him as part of your team. In addition on previous visits other team members have also been really helpful, there is obviously a great knowledge base and bond within your staffing.

Vegan Hiking Boots

Big thank you to Darren who helped me find vegan hiking boots. He gave me 3 different types of boots to try on and had no problem getting different sizes when they were too small.
He was very knowledgable and knew the key differences between each boot which really helped me make my decision

Travelling rucksack

We walked into the shop wanting to buy a backpack for travelling and straight away got directed to the perfect one. Darren was amazing helping me fit it perfectly and getting me to walk wearing it many times. He also added weights to make sure it was correct. Thanks so much for a great experience!

Darren very helpful

Darren very helpful but not in a pushy way. Had to try on a couple of items and ask a few questions about the shorts and he was able to give clear answers. Felt he was there to advise not just sell stuff - which actually made me feel confident about purchase
