Northcore Celebrates Their 10 Year Anniversary

Ten years ago the Northcore brand was born in a tiny garden shed on the UK North Sea coast after the founder, Matt Strathern came up with the idea for a unique product which has become the corner stone of surfing security, the “KeyPod’ key safe. From rough drawings to manufacture took almost two years, but once the first Keypod was made he dived all in, leaving a successful city career and launched the business. There was nothing like Keypod on the market so it quickly became a success story. As surfers realised the need for key security a small revolution took place in the market as thousands of surfers and outdoor users the world over welcomed Keypod into their lives.

Matt didn’t sit back after the first success as he noticed further opportunities for new practical products so he set about creating them. It was at this stage in 2006 that Northcore was formed as a brand to represent the ever growing range of innovative, market leading products which continues to this day.
