About Lyon Outdoor
Where did Lyon Equipment come from?
Back in 1965, Ben Lyon, aided by engineer brother Graham, started making caving ladders. The name 'Lyon Ladders' was registered in 1973.
In the same year Ben, with Mike Meredith, took a party of cavers to France, and called in on Fernand Petzl's 3-man workshop. Mike started imports to the UK, handing this on to Ben's business in 1974, making 'Lyon' the first overseas Petzl distributor.
The next move was to change our name to Lyon Equipment.
Over the years more leading Brands have been added to our portfolio. Recruiting staff of exceptional quality has allowed us to develop an unrivalled range of gear and techniques for tackling every type of play, work and rescue at height - and other places too!
Today, with even wider scope to our activities, you may find yourself talking, under the banner of Lyon Equipment Limited, to Lyon (Manufacturing), Lyon (Outdoors), Lyon (Work & Rescue), Lyon (Training) or Lyon (Logistics)...
...and 40 years on we still make caving ladders!
