Spartan Precision Equipment
At Spartan Precision Equipment Ltd, we produce rifle and optic support systems that weigh less and do more. Hunting is in each member of our team’s DNA, and as such we understand the rigours of our passion wherever they may take us around the world, and bind all of our knowledge and efforts together to ensure our designs never fall short of any requirement for that product’s application. Our flagship product – the Javelin Bipod – is a testament to our dedication to providing quality, practical solutions for all rifle shooting disciplines. Like many of our products since, it was invented with a desire to create a new-age adaptation of a traditional solution that could simply attach and detach as and when needed, that wasn’t cumbersome to carry and as practical in the pursuit of tahr and ibex as it is reds and roe deer. “For shooters wanting to push the boundaries, gear available on the market just didn’t cut it,” admits founder Rob (Mr G) Gearing. “In my younger years as a guide, I rapidly fell out of love with having a bipod hanging from my rifle and I used one infrequently. They got in the way and were a pain in my shoulder when carrying my rifle, and my eventual reluctance to carry a one presented me with a few failed hunts. “So, applying my background in aviation engines and, in particular, discovery of rare earth magnets when working on the Concord aircraft sculpture, the resulting invention was an ultra-lightweight, stupidly strong bipod that could be on and off the rifle quicker than you could drop the legs on a run-of-the-mill bipod. Exactly what I was after.” As such, the Javelin Bipod was an instant success among rifle shooters all around the world and formed a foundation from which all Spartan products – from entry level to top-end – are forged. Now, over half a decade into production, our fleet of rifle and optic support systems have generated a loyal and growing following that we are ever grateful for.

Alpkit
There was a time when we had a lot of time free, so we stumbled into the outdoors. We worked in an outdoor shop, saved some cash, and got ourselves kitted out. We travelled, did some routes and life was good. Then our kit started falling apart, we were no longer students and we realised the cost of replacing it. As we waited to pick up yet another x-xtra large fleece in the sales we patched up our waterproofs and wore an extra jumper in our smelly sleeping bags. During this time we realised that the passing years had taught us something, we had the experience to create something new. And somewhere therein lays the real story of how Alpkit.com™ was born. Born out of the passion for outdoor activity and not accepting the costs involved in getting quality equipment in our sacks. Four ordinary people trying to make some thing extraordinary. And why Alpkit.com™? it's just a name. we go to the alps, we climb, we paddle, we board, we visit our in laws. we produce kit. we didn't want it to be complicated.

Pallatrax Angling International
Pallatrax was born out of frustration by Simon Pomeroy, at the time he owned and ran Pallington Lakes in Dorset. As a fishery manager, he was concerned about the inferior quality baits anglers were feeding his fish. He decided the only way to ensure that the bait used was of good enough quality was to produce it himself. His initial steps were to create the best quality bait, not only to feed the fish, but also to assist anglers in catching them, resulting in a win-win fishery management tool. What was also very important is that the baits would also easily break down and, therefore, feed the whole biomass of the lakes. Anglers took Pallatrax baits to other fisheries and experienced the same amazing fish catching results, the demand for the baits grew, and so Pallatrax baits were launched. The care for fishery welfare running parallel with angling success didn’t end there, as Pallatrax grew it continued to question everything. Although a fisherman all his life, when Simon took over Pallington Lakes he was relatively new to carp fishing and couldn’t understand why anglers would fish with such an obviously obtrusive man made lead adjacent to the hook bait. It’s a fact that fish are fully aware of their environment and the fact that many lead manufactures were dismissive of the negatives of lead held no weight (excuse the pun), with Simon. Simon experimented with various alternatives, wanting something that wouldn’t spook fish and would, therefore, improve his catch rate. A stone seemed the ideal candidate and anglers set ups which have included our natural Stonze fishing weights have accounted for literally thousands of fish, many of specimen size, all over the world including the UK record barbel no less than six times! The next stage, having covered the baits and weights, was the development of a fishing system: The Stonze System, which incorporates a short anti-tangle rig set up with a super sharp, strong and effective hook pattern along with other high quality components from our comprehensive terminal tackle range. The set-up’s effectiveness was further increased by using the Stonze as the perfect method feeder and wrapping ‘advanced designer’ method mixes around the body of the Stonze. We went on to create a comprehensive top quality terminal tackle range so that anglers could be assured of buying trusted components with which to make their own rig set ups. This includes sourcing the best quality hooks from Japan, to soft rubber beads made in the UK. And now includes the phenomenal GRIPZ hooks – neither barbed nor barbless, but have a series of patented grooves which hold the hook fast – loved by both anglers and fisheries. Following on from our immensely successful flavour bait range, Simon went on to develop the Naturals range, ‘Giving fish what they want to eat, not what we want them to eat’. From his fly fishing experiences Simon would always try to ‘match the hatch’ and if the trout were feeding on a particular hatch of fly, that’s the fly he would use. So if the fish you’re targeting are feeding on snails, fish with snails. If they’re eating daphnia and crustaceans, it makes sense to include these in your baits, and so on. Fish have evolved over millions of years to where they are today and throughout this time they’ve fed on natural food sources. Any angler who dismisses this fact is definitely decreasing their odds of catching under certain situations – ignore at your own peril! We have also started the Pallatrax Associated Fisheries scheme, which is awarded to fisheries of high standards that we are proud to put our name to – fisheries with facilities that encourage not just the serious angler, but the whole family to participate in the sport that we love, e.g. proper flush toilets, tackle shop, cafe/snack bar, safe parking, etc. With this and such a strong heritage and stable background, Pallatrax is believed to be the fastest growing brand of its type in Europe.

Run4it
In 2004 we set out to cater for the needs of all runners and opened our first running shop in Glasgow, based within the Tiso Outdoor Experience. Our love of running and our passion for great products and exceptional customer service proved to be a winning formula and, in the years since, we’ve opened Run4It shops in Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow (down in the City), Inverness, Dundee and Bridge of Allan. In 2009 we also started selling online with the aim of giving you the same great products and customer service you get in our shops. We now have literally of running shoes in each shop and available to buy online from all of the major brands. ASICS, Brooks, Saucony, Mizuno, Nike and Adidas head up our road running shoe range with Inov-8 and Salomon providing real pedigree in the off-road trail, fell and hill running ranges. But we don’t just stock great trainers…we also offer an unparalleled range of running clothes for both men and women. To ensure that we offer only the best products for sale, many of the jackets, tights, shorts and running tops in our clothing range are tested by our passionate team (yes, we’re runners too!). In addition to this, our range of running accessories such as GPS watches, nutrition, hydration, rucksacks, gloves, hats and socks all designed to give you the very best running experience. Our teams, both in the shops and online, aim to give you the very best customer experience. We also provide great training to match our team's enthusiasm and the fabulous running products we sell. In fact, thanks to our wonderful customers, we won the awards for 'Best UK Customer Service' & 'Best UK Independent Retailer' in the 2018 Running Awards, that's four years in a row!
