Bit of Britain
Bit of Britain was formed in 1985 by a veterinarian who sold primarily to racetracks in the Northeast. In 1991, John Nunn, who had trained race horses for 15 years, purchased the company. John had greater plans for the company than just selling to racetracks, thus he found a niche in selling to eventers as very few retailers were doing so. Furthermore, John developed a wholesale company which manufactures top-quality leather products for the average eventer. For 25 years now John’s reputation for selling trusted, well-made products has not wavered allowing Bit of Britain to be the leading retailer for the eventing community.
