Lisa Riley, Edgar Brothers’ Marketing & Sales Manager, gives us the lowdown E dgar Brothers is a familyowned firearms and ammunition wholesale business, founded in 1947 by John J Edgar and his brother Roy. Ian Edgar MBE and Allan Edgar built the business up in the second generation. Derek Edgar now runs the company and it has continued to go from strength to strength supplying both private and public sector organisations. 030 October 2011 EB’s customers include sporting goods retailers, the Ministry of Defence and UK Police Constabularies, which all require high-quality, high-performance products. The company has been involved in the airsoft market since 1995 and has become experts in the field with a reputation for delivering value, choice and availability across specialist product ranges. These include torches and weapon lights, performance clothing and now airsoft weapons and accessories. Edgar Brothers has seen substantial growth in this division in the past 18 months because players, sites and dealers are demanding higher quality, recognisable and well-respected brands, and EB is perfectly positioned to develop this opportunity and add a new level of service to the industry. Carl Miller joined Edgar Brothers in 2009, as Airsoft Business Manager, and spearheads the airsoft division.
