HISTORY
Regatta - Helping Generations of Families to Come Out and Play
Regatta is Britain's best loved outdoor clothing and footwear brand and fast becoming a leading brand across Europe. Created in 1981, we make high quality and great value outdoor gear for the whole family.
Regatta has benefited from over 80 years and three generations of experience in the manufacture of high quality waterproofs. Keith Black and his sister, Joanne head up the company, following in the footsteps of their father and grandfather who also made outerwear but in different businesses.
We now export to over 40 countries worldwide and have dedicated sales offices in France, Belgium, Ireland, Germany, Holland, Spain, Poland, Italy, Finland, Czech Republic and Israel. There are also a number of dedicated showrooms across the UK, used to showcase the very latest products and we have sourcing offices in Asia.
HQ is in Trafford Park, Manchester, home to all key departments including: sales, buying, design, marketing, planning, imports, export, accounts, IT and HR. State of the art warehousing is set across 5 sites covering (at peak) 700,000sq feet, through which over 15 million units are shipped every year.
Our ranges are divided into X-ert Performance, Adventure Tech, Outdoor Classics and Lifestyle, designed for consumers to easily choose the right product for their outdoor use. With a range that covers jackets, fleece, softshell, shirts, trousers, footwear, accessories and rucksacks for men, women and children, Regatta is the brand to go to for all outdoor kit requirements. Isotex is our own family of waterproof and breathable fabrics that come with a 3 year guarantee and offers a waterproof performance of up to 20,000mm. Footwear has seen phenomenal growth since its inception in 2005.
We work closely with factories in Asia, following a strict Ethical trading code, to produce innovative and excellent quality products. Regatta's own fabric technologies are vigorously tried and tested and are technically advanced.
Regatta, as one of the last family outdoor clothing brands in the country, is hugely proud of its reputation for excellence and employee relations. Many of our staff have been with the company for decades and the entire company is dedicated to ensuring that all our customers have great quality gear that doesn't cost a fortune.
