Quiksilver

Quiksilver has become a household name, having begun its journey in 1969. This brand began thanks to two men from Torquay named Alan Green and John Law. These men had a passion for surfing and loved living active lifestyles, which largely inspired their brand from the get-go. They started with boardshorts and consistently grew from there to expand their product offering. Jump forward to today and Quiksilver has become one of the world's largest outdoor sports lifestyle businesses. They stock a wide range of products now, including regular duffle bags, wheeled duffle bags, clothing, surf gear, snow gear, outdoor accessories and much more.

As an outdoor brand, Quiksilver places a large value on protecting our environment to ensure that future generations will be able to experience the joys of outdoor sports. They also foster a culture of inclusivity, supporting people from all walks of life and the way they choose to express themselves. Their last ethical pillar is to create more eco-friendly products and act more eco-consciously as a business. They pride themselves on being transparent and taking accountability for their actions.
