Mike

Hi there, I'm Mike. I started Maximum Adventure in 2002. Since then it has grown from a hobby business to  a professional set up encompassing a wide range of talents, cultures, abilities and nationalities. Before MaxAd, I completed a Physics degree at Durham University, subsequently embarking on a business graduate management training programme. I soon realised that my love of the outdoors was interfering with my development of a business career - it was at this stage I decided to embark on a business in the outdoors. I am a qualified mountain leader and have been fortunate enough to travel and climb all over the world; the UK, The Alps, North America, South America, Africa, The Himalayas - the list is long but not exhaustive. I feel people should be more willing to go travelling, climbing and visiting places that they haven't been to. That's why I set up this company - to encourage people to enjoy the outdoors and to say 'you can do it' when maybe you don't think you can. Have a great holiday. We sincerely want you to!
