Trek Hire UK Ltd 2009
Trekking & Outdoors
Trek Hire UK has been successfully supplying groups and individuals with good quality trekking equipment for the past 6 years.
Our Company was built on the back of a charity trek that set off from these shores at the beginning of the Millennium to conquer Kilimanjaro in Tanzania.
Barry Gill (founder) instigated the trek and enrolled the services of 10 of his friends to set about raising funds for his local charity. They had to buy all of the essential equipment which included four season sleeping bags, Thermarest Mats, Rucksacks, Duffle bags and Walking Poles to name just a few items, which as you can imagine, cost a pretty penny as there was no hire solution available at that time.
After months of preparation and planning the group finally set off on what turned out to be the adventure of a lifetime.
On their return, most of the group decided that, although demanding and enjoyable in equal measure they wouldn't take it up as a hobby and they were therefore left with a dilemma as to what to do with the equipment that they had bought.
Solution Due mainly to the fact that at that time eBay didn’t exist, Barry decided to buy everyone's equipment, put together a web site to see if he could hire it out to other people who were embarking on their own adventure and who in turn also wanted to keep the costs to a minimum.
Since then, Trek Hire UK has gone from strength to strength building up relationships with various charities and private companies and improving services by offering equipment not only in this country but also in Morocco for people taking on a High Atlas Mountain trek.
