Country sports retailer moves north A leading UK-based supplier of country sports and outdoors goods, Fur Feather & Fin, will return to business after relocating to an all-new location in Teesside Airport, North Yorkshire, England. Due to a substantial increase in rental fees, the business ceased operations in December 2022 as they searched for alternative locations. Financial director Paul Walton said: “It is sad to be leaving Chichester where we have been based since 1978, but this new facility offers great expansion opportunities with an increase in space available for holding stock, along with implementing an even more efficient and responsive ordering and fulfilment services.” Fur Feather & Fin has garnered a reputation for retailing the finest shooting, fishing, stalking and gundog products from top brands, including Yeti, Dubarry, Härkila, Rio, Berretta, Scott and Snowbee to name but a few. The team has plans to work with additional brands in the sectors they cater for, along with developing their own range of luxury leather goods and accessories. “For the foreseeable future we will focus on online and mail-order sales, though we are in the process of finding suitable locations for a replacement showroom so that those travelling north or from overseas to shoot, fish or stalk can take a look at what we have available before purchasing,” says Paul. Fur Feather & Fin will be operating as usual with current stock ahead of the brown trout and main salmon season, with a greater collection of luggage, apparel and accessories for game shooters and gundog handlers ready for the Glorious Twelfth. www.furfeatherandfin.com OPTIMIZE YOUR ACCURACY WITH MOUNTS THAT WONT BUDGE.
