Following a couple years of sickness and recovery, Jacobite Solutions has moved into a new shop in their home town of Aberdeen, Scotland.
Bigger Space, Bigger Projects-
The new space not only features a better space for JS branded kit, but also a more elaborate display for their TUFF DUGZ brand of heavy-duty dog equipment, as well as more space for their ever growing offering of surplus/pre-owned kit.
But the new premises isn’t just a shop, having more space to work means Jacobite Solutions now has room to work on bigger, more substantial projects.
“I’ve always wanted to push more into the equipment manufacturing side of things, but never really had the space to do so. Now, with the new shop, it not only gives greater shelf space that also lets customers come in and browse, but also space for me to really lay out projects, both product and R&D wise.” -Rob, Director of Jacobite Solutions
S.E.R.E Kit updates-
One of the things JS is best known for (aside from the memes) is its offering of S.E.R.E kit. With the new shop, what plans does JS have for this area this year?
“In terms of S.E.R.E kit, this year will be solely focused on re-visiting the current line-up, seeing where things can be improved or perhaps even designed altogether. The S.E.R.Espace has been really busy the past couple of years, with all the ongoings in Europe and the Middle East. Now the mad rush for kit has settled, I can finally sit down and pick at ideasthat I never got around to before I became ill.”
What else is to come?-
With a new found health and momentum, what else does Jacobite Solutions have in the pipeline?
“This year will certainly busy. Outside of the S.E.R.E kit, our belts have proven popular, especially with local Law Enforcement, so there’ll certainly be more to come in that area. There’s also our brand of heavy-duty dog accessories that’s really starting to mature now, both in terms of the off-the-shelf stuff and the custom work. Of course, we’ll still continue to offer our 3D printing and repairs service, as well as all the other custom work we do and our surplus/pre-owned kit catalogue is also growing more and more, so it’s really a war on all fronts this year that may even involve employing someone and, with the way things are going, potentially a bigger space. Obviously, considering not too long ago I was near death in hospital with an illness that has taken me almost 2 years to return to some kind of normal, it’s been crazy how things have grown and I don’t think I’ll get over just how supportive and understanding both my customers and others in the community have been.”
Jacobite Solutions can now be found on Summerhill Drive, Aberdeen, Scotland. They ship internationally and offer both off-the-shelf and custom work, as well as consultancy services.
