We have a passion for the snow, and this is what led
to the beginnings of Edge & Wax in 2005. Working from a workshop shed
a thirst for knowledge led to training in Ski and Snowboard tuning.
Time on the slopes is precious so we understood it was important that
your equipment serves you well. In 2008 we expanded the business becoming
BLiSS OUTDOORS (Bicycle, Lifestyle Snow Sports).
Our experience of fitting footbeds for ski and snowboard boots led us
to move into footbed customistation for other footwear, and after one
year of extensive testing we now are confident in recommending this
proven service to our customers.
At the same time, our 20 years of cycle industry experience was not
going to waste. We are still responsible for the complete design, development
and production of a comprehensive bike line for the largest cycle retailer
in the UK. This is what led us to offer a dedicated cycle workshop service
from our premises.
For 2009 we are expanding once again, with extra space now being transformed
into additional showroom and fitting space, and an improved warehouse
for our online shopping services www.edgeandwax.co.uk
and www.blissbikes.co.uk.
Edge & Wax is a husband and wife affair, with a great supporting cast.
Scott spends a lot of the time in the workshop filing away. He is ably
supported by Nikki, who sorts out Scott's bad paperwork, is also trained
in ski and snowboard servicing, and we think is the only boot fitter
in the UK who can also serve those hard of hearing with her sign language
skills! Harry our workshop manager is Cytech level 2 qualified for bicycle
servicing and is also an extremely competent ski and snowboard technician
with hundreds of services under his belt, all hand finished.
