Meet a Clip ‘n Climb Owner : Josh & Mark

Are you thinking about starting your own fun climbing business? If so, we’d love to share our latest video with you. The video tells the story of Josh Davey and Mark Patterson, two business owners, who decided to set up their own Clip ‘n Climb in 2018.

After visiting Clip ‘n Climb Belfast, Josh and Mark were hooked by the “carnival atmosphere” and soon realised the potential demand for a fun climbing centre in their home town of Ipswich.

“We saw an opportunity in Ipswich. It doesn’t really have anything like Clip ‘n Climb in the area. We were able to work with Clip ‘n Climb to build the perfect customer journey for our centre and our customers.”

Since then the business has grown to become one of the largest Clip ‘n Climb centres in the UK, attracting over 65,000 climbers per year with its range of colourful climbing challenges, café and toddler sessions. In the next five years, Clip ‘n Climb Ipswich aims to become the best centre in the UK and one of the main family attractions in East Anglia.

If, like Josh and Mark, you want to open your own business, see our Investor Guide. You’ll learn about the Clip ‘n Climb brand, how we support our franchisees, and more.
