Brothers Roy and Ryan Seiders have always had a passion for the outdoors – they grew up hunting and fishing with their father, but the coolers they’d bring with them on trips always fell short.
So in 2006, Yeti was born with a simple mission: to build a cooler for the serious outdoor enthusiast that can take abuse out in the field or on the water. One that ultimately won’t break.
Yeti now sells a whole range of equipment including coolers, drinkware, chairs, dog accessories and more.

Husband and wife duo Richard and Alexa Sutcliffe birthed Passenger Clothing 2012.
Based in The New Forest, the fast-growing clothing company sells pieces designed to be born off grid – when wandering, travelling, and in the elements amongst nature.
“Stories of escapism are woven into the fabric of our products and each design tells a different one,” says the brand. “The smell of a campfire on a beanie or the sweat-stain on a favourite T-shirt.”
