Berghaus: Support and sponsorship, which made this film possible
A message from Berghaus, our sponsors:
'In 1966 the Berghaus brand was born. Peter Lockey and Gordon Davison, climbers and mountaineers, from North East England were disappointed with the outdoor gear that was available on the market. They decided to import and sell their own. Their specialist outdoor store, LD Mountain Centre quickly gained a reputation for selling the best high-performance outdoor products from the likes of Atomic Skis, Marker Bindings and Nordica Ski.
Due to its success, Lockey and Davison began to design, test and make their own gear for sale in the shop. This high-quality, innovative clothing range, inspired by what climbers actually wanted and needed, was called Berghaus.
The stories of Berghaus and iconic adventurer Sir Chris Bonington are deeply entwined. In the early 1980s Sir Chris ‘officially’ wore the brand and in 1984 he became a sponsored athlete. One year later he achieved a lifetime ambition at the age of 50 when he reached the summit of Everest. Survival and triumph are Sir Chris’s bywords, and his reputation is built on true leadership ability ‒ not only in the mountains, but also in the boardroom where we are proud to have him as our non-executive chairman.'
