Dynamic Adventures
Location: Charlwood, Sector: Rural Enterprise
Dynamic Adventures successfully applied for a grant of £5,200 towards equipment to help build their Surrey Hills Safaris. As an established outdoor pursuit provider the company wanted to expand into the tourist market and needed funds to purchase new bikes, canoes and tents. The Surrey Hills LEADER grant scheme was able to fund 50% of the cost of new equipment enabling the business to offer high quality Surrey Hills Safaris for members of the public.
Dynamic Adventures is an outdoor adventure company which specialises in a wide variety of outdoor adventure activities including Duke of Edinburgh training, mountain biking, kayaking, orienteering, camping and first aid training. The business has been running for 11 years and its' current customer base is predominantly school groups. They identified a new business opportunity which was the provision of Surrey Safaris offering weekend activities to families and individuals. The provision of updated equipment will enable them to offer a first class experience for a different customer base. It should draw in new visitors to the area and raise the profile of the Surrey Hills. Dynamic Adventures have plans to work with other local businesses in the development of the Safari packages linking to farm shops, tea rooms and accommodation providers.
Dynamic Adventures is a personal and friendly company run by highly qualified and experienced outdoor instructors. They deliver a quality service to schools which to date has succeeded and grown largely through word of mouth recommendations. Their expansion plans, facilitated partly by the Surrey Hills LEADER grant, will ensure that the Surrey Hills retains its reputation for offering high quality services and experiences for tourists. This will ensure that those enjoying a Surrey Hills Safari will wish to return to the area again with their all important tourism spending power.
