About Badminton HQ - Who are we?

So who or what is Badminton HQ?
Badminton HQ is a new online shop, that's been made for players, by players. The idea for this came about, in summer 2018 when David Tuttlebee was looking to buy a new badminton racket online for a friend. Finding it very difficult to get the racket he wanted and good advice on what exactly to buy.

Launched online in 2021, Badminton HQ's goal is to offer all levels of badminton players, the most popular products available, at the best possible prices anywhere, alongside the best possible buying information to enable players and new people to the sport an understanding of what to buy.
