Exciting Times, We're Expanding

Posted on 13 / 09 / 2011

We're pleased to announce that we're expanding.  During the summer our  Chief Executive, Matt Wells has been in talks with Climb/Trek/Ski Ltd. (trading as Jagged Globe).  We are now in a position to confirm that talks between the two organisations have been extremely productive.  An agreement has been reached that from this point onwards Outlook Expeditions will take on the provision of youth/school expeditions from Jagged Globe and the brand Adventureworks Ltd will cease to operate.

This is great news, as it means we'll be working with new schools from across the UK and Europe.  Matt Wells, co-founder and Chief Executive at Outlook Expeditions said, "This is a really exciting time for Outlook Expeditions. We are an ambitious company and we are passionate about what we do.  This is a very positive move for the company which puts us firmly on our path to achieving our vision to become the UK's leading provider of high quality expeditions for schools". 

"This was an attractive agreement because Jagged Globe and their youth expedition business, Adventureworks, share a lot of the values and the ethos of Outlook Expeditions.  The companies are well matched, just like Outlook, Adventureworks had a reputation for strong technical skills and expertise and again like us they have built a strong brand and loyal customer base by offering a high quality product and service.  We look forward to working with their schools and continuing to build on this."

We already have a unique partnership with the National Mountain Centre, Plas Y Brenin to offer our Link Teacher training and UK based Duke of Edinburgh activities.  This new relationship with Jagged Globe will further strengthen our network.

This is the beginning of an exciting partnership, we plan to work closely with Jagged Globe to expand our range of unique expedition itineraries to include some very specialist, technical and remote expedition opportunities and destinations. Additionally Outlook and Jagged Globe will benefit from access to an expanded team of highly experienced expedition leaders, many of whom are world renowned in their field.  This newly formed alliance will benefit customers and the combined expertise undoubtedly places Outlook at the forefront of the youth expeditions industry.   

This agreement and long term partnership combines unrivalled knowledge, experience and expertise.  We believe it makes us the most credible, youth expedition company in the UK!
