Vision and values
We have a clear vision for The Outer Edge which inspires us and we hope it will inspire you too:
Only when you take yourself to The Outer Edge do you feel truly alive. The Outer Edge aims to give you the opportunity to take yourself out of your comfort zone and to the edge of your stretch zone through outdoor adventures. The Outer Edge moves beyond providing outdoor activities and aims to help you learn more, achieve more and discover more…
In pursuit of our vision, we strive to uphold the following values:
Professional approachability:
Our business and staff have a unique blend of knowledge and extensive experience together with a friendly and approachable disposition. We only recruit the most professional, qualified and experienced staff who are skilled in communicating and inspiring so you can easily understand what you need to do, alleviate any concerns and are free to enjoy the experience to the full. We know that people can learn more and achieve more if they are happy and relaxed.
Responsibility:
We take total responsibility for our actions – towards our clients, staff, members of the public and our venues. We move beyond quality and safety requirements and ensure your total safety, wellbeing and comfort at all times. This extends to the care of our equipment – we invest in quality gear which we look after and replace regularly. We place great importance on care of our environment and therefore ensure the venues in which we are working are carefully looked after to reduce the impact we may have on our environment.
Passion:
Our sense of passion is infectious. We are fanatical about the outdoors and learning and are eager to share this with others through our outdoor adventures.
Adaptable:
Inspired by the proverb – the tree that is unbending is easily broken - our resolve to provide the very best experience for you is unwavering yet flexible. To this end, we offer a totally tailored service to meet your precise needs – we aim to provide courses and events which give you exactly what you would like to get out of it.
Excellence:
We pride ourselves on our absolute attention to detail and strive for excellence in everything we do. Inspired by the Japanese learning - be careful even in small matters – we know that finishing touches can really add to your experience, we might even have a flask of hot tea for you! We place just as much importance on the time leading up to your course/event and the time afterwards as we do your adventure itself – we will provide you with all the information you need to guarantee your complete confidence.
Learning:
We are committed to the continual improvement of our activities and service through rigorous monitoring and feedback processes. We strive to keep up with very best advances in best practice and use the most effective and highest quality equipment in the outdoor sector. We aim to push ourselves to The Outer Edge to continually develop to enable us to provide you with an excellent service.
