MedTree at 20: A Journey of Trust, Growth & Service

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

  • Industry-Leading Range: Over 18,000 products from more than 300 trusted manufacturers, many on an exclusive basis.
  • Operational Excellence: Fast, reliable fulfilment from our Shropshire distribution centre.
  • Trust & Reputation: A customer-first approach, reflected in our exceptional Trustpilot rating.
  • Core Values: Service, Integrity, Accountability, Respect — guiding every decision we make.
  • Market Influence: A trusted partner for both emergency services professionals and global manufacturers introducing new innovations.

Over the past 20 years, we have proudly supported thousands of professionals across emergency medical services, police, fire, and military teams.

  • Supplying NHS Trusts Nationwide – from life-saving defibrillators to PPE, we have delivered critical supplies that keep clinicians equipped.
  • Supporting Education & Training – providing high-quality manikins, simulation tools, and first-aid training equipment to universities and academies across the UK.

These stories are a reflection of our ongoing commitment: to serve those who serve others.

Looking Ahead with Purpose

Our mission remains as urgent today as it was in 2005: to deliver high-quality emergency medical supplies that boost performance and safety, backed by service that professionals can rely on. As we celebrate this 20-year milestone, we’re invigorated to explore new opportunities, innovations, and ways to support the brave individuals on the frontlines.
