20 Years. 1 Mission.
Celebrating two decades of dedication to emergency services
This year, we proudly mark 20 years of unwavering support for emergency services across the globe. What began on 7th September 2005 has evolved into a mission-driven business rooted in quality, passion, and a deep responsibility to those who serve on the frontlines.
From Small Beginnings to Industry Leader
We opened our doors in 2005 as the UK subsidiary of Bound Tree Medical, a leading US supplier of emergency medical supplies. Operating under the name Bound Tree Medical Europe Ltd, our mission was clear: to reliably supply life-saving equipment to emergency teams.
Our commitment was matched by growth. In 2007, we acquired Galls Europe’s operations—expanding our product lines and moving into our current 15,000 ft² Shropshire HQ. This facility has anchored our ability to deliver a vast and responsive service to customers across the UK, Europe, and beyond.
Building Independence & Identity
March 2012 marked a pivotal moment: we completed a management buyout and became fully independent from our US parent company are now a UK owned, family business.
This transition empowered us to chart our own course, rebrand as MedTree, and further reinforce our commitment to UK-based leadership and service.
What Sets Us Apart
