Who are we

Brass Monkey exists to help everyone experience the power of a cold water dip every day.We do it by being the crusader for our 'challenge creates change' philosophy, by guiding people to access, own or follow the practice of cold water immersion, in whatever way works for them.We have very clear and strong values that drive our business and need to resonate well with all members of our growing team.

Our shared beliefs:

Bravery is the mother of invention:

The fearless are merely without fear, people who act despite their fear are truly brave. Failure is feedback. Push on, don't worry about getting it wrong. Live curious. Be inventive and imaginative. The business was built on curiosity and let's face it, a crazy idea. If you can push on and push out of your comfort zone you could be the spark behind the next one.

OK is not OK:

Remarkable things only happen if you commit and give your everything. We don't cut corners, we don't do things by halves. Just think what 2% more might bring. No pain, no gain as they say. Set a standard. Keep your promises. Bring your A Game every day.

Kindness is magic:

Nothing good happens until other people feel good. Whether that's our families, our colleagues, our customers or our community. We will always strive to maintain our generosity of spirit by staying compact enough to care and focused on what and who matters most. Caring for people and doing the right thing in the right way deserves to be celebrated.
