Action Cameras was
launched in London in January 2006 by Sab Jhooti and Robin Parker. The objective of the
company was to lead the way in bringing the latest developments in helmet
camera technology, provide excellent
customer service and have fun while doing it.
Our customers all have a passion for extreme sports. We wanted to provide
products that would enable our customers to record and share their experiences
and get more out of something they all ready love. Everyone has different
budgets and requirements and we set out to provide the widest range of products
so there is something for everyone.
Over the last five years nearly every model of helmet camera sold was first launched by Action Cameras including the Oregon Scientific range, GoPro Range, Contour range and the Drift range of cameras to name just a few. In addition to being first to launch new
products we have been at the forefront of marketing the whole concept of “action
cameras” and you can see from our news section we have appeared
regularly in national press, action sports magazines and TV.
Since launch we have quickly developed a reputation of providing high quality
equipment backed by great customer support. We have provided camera systems to
several F1 teams, Red Bull air racers, Super Bike teams, Rally Teams,
production companies like the BBC and MNET, Olympic athletes and thousands of action sports enthusiasts worldwide.
Since launch we, as the company and the members of the team, won a number of
business awards including being a London Winner of the HSBC Start-up Stars
2008. The award recognises start-ups which are exciting and have demonstrated
success in a short space of time. In September 2009 Our (then) UK country manager Warrick
Kernes was awarded “The Outstanding Young Business Person” award
for North West London. Warrick has since left the UK Management role to take the lead in opening up the South African offices in his home country. 2011 saw the SA team land a Top 40 placement in South Africa's best websites as well as being interviewed live on 94.7 Highveld Stereo after they selected us as their Business of the Week in October. SABC also took an interest in our company and invited us onto the Expresso Show for an interview which you can see below in the inserted video.
These awards and the many nominations we receive is a
testament to our commitment to our customers and everyone who works with us. We
are hoping to win more awards in 2012!
We could not continue without the support of our customers so a big thank you
to all. Please continue to send us your footage and feedback on how we can
improve our products and services. To see some of our South African customers' feedback please visit our Feedback Page.
