The Team
Joe Riley
Joe is responsible for making sure that all of our sales operations run smoothly from the initial enquiries to the ordering and packing of kit.
Mick Merry
Mick joined Equip Me in early 2011 after spending longer than he cares to remember with the Civil Service. He first discovered his love of the outdoors whilst in the scouts and venture scouts, and now spends a lot of his spare time combining his fondness for rambling with investigating historic buildings and landscapes.
Despite having given up playing rugby years ago, in winter months he can also often be found on a touchline somewhere offering unsolicited advice of questionable value.

Kim Hurley
Kim joined us in 2010 after emigrating from Zambia. He was born and bred on a tobacco farm in Zimbabwe, is the father of 3 and has a passion for nature and the outdoors. After the evacuation of farms in Zimbabwe, Kim worked in Resource Management in Harare and Johannesburg and managed an estate in Zambia.
Kim brings his African passion with him and loves fishing, white water rafting, canoeing and photography. He now lives in the picturesque countryside of Berkshire and enjoys long country walks where he can get to know the different bird calls, flora and fauna of the UK. Somewhat different to Africa but great none the less!
Kim is responsible for the smooth running of the warehouse including health and safety and logistics. Kim also looks after the company vehicles and other facilities for the Expertise Consultancy Group companies.
Mark House
Mark’s love of the outdoors started at a young age through Scouts, Army Cadets and any other way he could find to spend time away from home and in the outdoors. Since these early days Mark has tried most outdoor activities but has a particular passion for hill walking and canoeing.
During his time at university in the Lake District Mark worked in an Outdoor Clothing and Equipment shop where he developed a passion for gear. Mark followed this career path after graduation to spent five years working for an outdoor Clothing and Equipment manufacturer; firstly in the overseas buying department and then as a sales rep.
Mark heads up Equip Me as well as working on web marketing across the Expertise Consultancy Group companies. When he’s not in the office and there’s no rugby matches to watch Mark can generally be found somewhere in the mountains whether they are in the UK or abroad.
Richard Mayon-White
Richard has many years experience in developing companies and managing teams, in both large organisations and smaller companies. Prior to joining the Expertise Group, Richard managed the operations of a national sailing school on the South Coast of England. His role within the Expertise Group is as overall business manager working across all the satellite units of the Group.
In his spare time Richard has travelled extensively, including climbing Kilimanjaro and Aconcagua. A commercially endorsed RYA Yachtmaster, he has skippered yachts in the Fastnet Race and Three Peaks Yacht Race. He now concentrates his efforts on triathlon and offshore yacht racing and in early 2006, he rowed across the Atlantic with his fiancee setting a record time for a couple in the race.
