Tiso and Berghaus to support Scottish mountain rescue

01/08/2007

Scotland’s largest outdoor specialist retailer Tiso has teamed up with UK-based outdoor performance brand Berghaus in a promotion scheme designed to raise funds for Mountain Rescue teams across Scotland. In September the two companies will donate 5% of sales revenue from key products to the 31 official teams in the country.

Tiso is Berghaus’ biggest customer in Scotland and sells technical products from across its range. The promotion is important as it coincides with the new autumn/winter range and is traditionally one of the busiest sales months of the year.

Mountain Rescue in Scotland is carried out on a voluntary basis by members of the various teams, coordinated by the Mountain Rescue Committee of Scotland, a charity that relies on the generosity of individuals and organisations. Every year, volunteers in the teams from across Scotland attend around 500 incidents.
