Micheal was brilliant
Micheal was brilliant, went in with limited knowledge and he was very helpful at explaining and giving advice at what to bring and what not to bother with on my trips.
Will definitely be going again for any future Camping,Backpacking needs.

Expert help when buying a waterproof jacket
When I bought my waterproof jacket, there was simply too much choice and I have had bad experiences with spending a lot of money on jackets that do not live up to their claims! Jude was a fantastic member of staff who was knowledgeable and helpful. I’d highly recommend Blacks Brighton.

Formal Recognition of Exceptional Staff Performance at Blacks Brighton Store
I am writing to formally recognize and commend the outstanding performance of staff member Jude at the Blacks store in Brighton.
During my visit, I sought assistance regarding the Berghaus Men’s Stormcloud Waterproof Jacket. Jude provided a high standard of professional support, demonstrating extensive and accurate product knowledge, clear and effective communication, and a genuine commitment to ensuring my requirements were fully understood and met.
The level of service delivered by Jude is exemplary and aligns with the core values and reputation for quality that Blacks Outdoor Retail Limited maintains. Such dedication contributes significantly to positive customer experiences and strengthens the relationship between the brand and its patrons.
It is important to acknowledge excellence within retail teams, as individuals like Jude are instrumental in upholding the standards that define successful businesses. Blacks should be proud to have such a capable and committed member of staff representing the company.

I bought some walking shoes online but they didn’t fit very well so I took them into the Brighton store for an exchange.
Must say that all the staff were friendly and helpful.
Compared to jd sports up the road where the staff couldn’t care less this is the place to go.
Well done
