    I have no comment to make at this time. I have decided I need more time to consider my position.

    Beaver Sports Ltd.



    Beaver Sports is this year proudly celebrating its 20thanniversary. In 1982 the companies founder, the late Dennis Walker, was involved in the flooring and furnishing business mainly engaged in local government contract work, which at the time was a declining industry due to government spending cuts. He had an interest in water sports and after some research turned to making wet suits in an effort to provide continued employment for his staff and small factory located above his carpet shop. From these humble beginnings Dennis soon recognised a niche in the diving world and Beaver are now firmly established as a major global player in the dive industry.

    Martin Walker, Managing Director

    Martin Walker became Managing Director in 1987. Martin has been involved in his fathers various ventures from a young age and has gradually developed and transformed the company into today’s hi-tech business. He also continues his father’s love of diving being a BSAC dive leader and PADI rescue diver and has developed a vast knowledge of the industry and divers needs, ensuring he uses his experience to keep his customers satisfied. Customer service has always been a top priority for Beaver.



    Location

    Beaver have operated from their current premises for the last 16 years and will shortly be completing the final part of a complete transformation of the facilities performed over the last few years. The whole interior is modern, bright and spacious with a total area of over 15,000 square feet. It is split into working areas dedicated to production, warehousing and office areas all providing a pleasant and safe working environment.

    Technology
    Beaver has embraced computerisation in all aspects; Even the cutting of suits is now performed using a state of the art CAD/CAM system. Beaver produce all their sales literature in house using fully automated Xerox equipment, catalogues are printed, collated, folded and stapled simply at the click of a mouse&#33; All stock control and order processing are performed using a custom designed computer programme, which ensures smooth operation and instant information. Investment continues in technology and equipment to optimise processes whenever possible.

    Products

    Beaver have strived to remain at the forefront of innovation having introduced over 100 new products this year and have many more in the pipeline. Amongst many of Beavers inventions that have been imitated and are now commonplace are the semi-dry suit and soft lead shot pouches and belts. Beavers’ range is continually expanding, in addition to producing a vast range of suits for both diving and water sports they market a huge range of products to cater for diver requirements.

    In addition to production for the diving market Beaver are involved in manufacturing many diverse products for example skullcaps used in chemotherapy treatment to prevent hair loss, protective sleeves for musicians and paint ball monster suits&#33; As well as a growing range, which caters for the canoeing and caving market.

    We supply a selection of the best diving equipment
    and accessories from all over the world, all CE marked to

    Just about every diving product is now featured. Beaver is committed to expanding the range at a steady pace, ensuring that high quality products and levels of stock are maintained.
    Key to Beaver’s high level of service is the huge inventory of stock, for example, over 5,000 suits are held available on an ongoing basis and 99% of products are dispatched the same day as orders are received.
