For the second year in a row, Cotswold Outdoor has received the prestigious Gold Award for Best Nationwide Outdoors Retailer at the Walk Reader Awards 2011. And not only that, but we have also received the Gold Award for Best Online Retailer!

We feel that these awards recognise all the hard work that our staff put in this year to be the best at what we do and remain the first choice of outdoor retailer for walkers and outdoor enthusiasts alike.  As a company, we strive to offer best range of outdoor gear, backed up with world-class service and expert advice to make sure our customers get the most out of their outdoor adventures.

The 2011 Walk Reader Awards, presented earlier this month at the Outdoor Show, celebrate the best retailers, gear, routes and personalities in the walking world as voted by Walk Magazine readers. We would like to say a big thank you to all of the readers of Walk Magazine who voted for in the Best Nationwide Outdoors Retailer category.

Hans Falkenburg, Chief Executive of Cotswold Outdoor, commented,

“To be recognised and chosen as the Best Nationwide Outdoors Retailer by Walk Magazine’s readers, not once but twice in a row, is a very proud moment for Cotswold Outdoor. We will endeavour to continue providing services and products that meet our customers’ needs so that we can maintain our position for many years to come.”

Again, thank you so much for voting for us - without our loyal supporters and customers, we would not be here.
