Gap Finder - Mark Neale from Mountain Warehouse

Available for over a year

This week's Gap Finder is Mark Neale, Founder and Chief Executive of Mountain Warehouse. Mountain Warehouse sells outdoor clothing and equipment. It's got 264 stores across the UK, and tends to have shops on those local high streets in market towns where some other retailers have struggled. Mark Neale opened the first Mountain Warehouse shop in Swindon in 1997 after trying his hand at a rollerskates shop and a toy shop. Since then Mountain Warehouse expanded massively and is still opening new shops where other retailers are closing them. What's the secret to Mountain Warehouse's success?
