About Angling Direct

 

Angling Direct is the leading omni-channel specialist fishing tackle retailer
in the UK. The Company sells fishing tackle products and related equipment
through its network of retail stores, located strategically throughout the UK
as well as through its leading digital platform (www.anglingdirect.co.uk
(https://www.anglingdirect.co.uk/) .de, .fr, .nl and .eu) and other
third-party websites.

 

Angling Direct is committed to supporting its active customer base and
widening access to the angling community through its passionate colleagues,

Company currently sells over 28,000 fishing tackle products, including capital

fishing tackle products under its own brand 'Advanta', which was formally
launched in March 2016.

 

From 1986 to 2002, the Company's founders acquired interests in a number of
small independent fishing tackle shops in Norfolk and, in 2002, they acquired
a significant premise in Norwich, which was branded Angling Direct. Since
2002, the Company has continued to acquire or open new stores, taking the
total number up to 46 retail stores. In 2015, the Company opened a 2,800 sq.
metres central distribution centre in Rackheath, Norfolk, where the Company's
head office is also located. In January 2022 Angling Direct acquired an
additional 3,900 sq. metres distribution centre in Venlo, Netherlands to
service its established, and rapidly growing, presence in Europe with native
language websites set up in key regions to address demand.
