Very helpful

I visited Blacks needing some camping equipment. Michelle was very knowledgeable, gave great recommendations, nothing was too much trouble. Would recommend anybody who needed advice when visiting the Black store to go and find Michelle!

Great customer service

We always choose Blacks whenever we need to purchase any “outdoor” equipment. We do this mainly because of the staff and the variety of items. We recently bought a coat for my husband and was assisted by Michelle who was very helpful and her knowledge was amazing, she helped us choose the right coat for his needs. We will definitely continue to use Blacks

I went in to get a gift for someone not knowing what to buy them. Michelle helped me so much in helping me decide what would be best for them. They loved the gift and that's all thanks to michelle and her great customer service.

Excellent knowledgeable service

I wanted a pair of walking shoes. Matt P took me through the options and made sure that my choice was exactly what I was looking for without spending more than I needed to. I was delighted with the outcome and gratified to be advised by such a proficient salesman.

Kilimanjaro Trek Prep

I was prepping quite last minute for Kilimanjaro and Fay in the store was incredibly helpful essentially going through my itinerary with me and insuring I had everything I needed.
She even took the time to go through the stock room to find suitable equipment for me for later that week Served me very well, not overselling, but adequately providing with an excellent level of knowledge and customer service.

Great service and help in the Newport store

I went to the store early in the day needing a particular jacket urgently. The staff were really helpful especially Alfie who persisted in finding exactly what I needed. His colleague Fay joined in at one point to ensure everything in order. All done very quickly and pleased with the purchase
