Exposure Lights
Improve your chances of survival - be seen and get rescued fast.
Being rescued fast could be the difference between life and death. Exposure's Man Overboard (MOB) strobe and searchlight is designed to do just that - make the difference between life and death.
As soon as the buoyant, pocket-sized MOB hits the water, its 1300 lumens strobe starts flashing automatically, for up to 40 hours. What's more, its highly visible from the air, and can be seen from more than 5 miles away.
And by the way, the MOB strobe is a really powerful torch as well.
One night it might just make the difference.
Salcombe Brewery
On a beautiful day in July 2011, John Tiner and his wife Gerry walked through the village of Hope Cove and stopped for a drink on the terrace of a local hotel before lunch. While enjoying a beautiful pint of Shingle Bay he was distraught to hear that the brewery could close leaving the area without a local brewery.
Such was John’s passion for cask ale he decided to buy the brewery to save the brand and the beer!
Since then John has had a vision to create a new larger brewery which engages the natural beauty of the area, with new high quality beers. The new Salcombe Brewery is a unique concept based on a decommissioned water reservoir utilising the ambient temperature of the underground facility and solar heating, making the brewery as energy efficient as possible.
Tom Madeiros, the new head brewer (from Boston USA) has been able to experiment with different recipes to perfect the new cask ale range. These new beers were launched in the early summer of 2016 and have been positively received by licensees and consumers alike.
