Historical Background
Terra Nova Equipment was founded in 1988 in Belper, Derbyshire by Andy Tweddle. The company grew from a small design and sewing operation to supply specialist tents to British Antarctic Survey expeditions, Everest expeditions, and the SAS. The Terra Nova Quasar tent became a standard reference shelter for extreme cold-weather operations. The brand is distributed under the Terra Nova name in the UK and Europe and as Wild Country in other international markets — an example of a single manufacturer holding separate trademarks for different territories.
