A business offering outdoor activities in the heart of Sherwood Forest is celebrating 21 successful years.
The Adrenalin Jungle, founded by Nottinghamshire entrepreneur Don Logan, a paintball enthusiast with an entrepreneurial spirit, now offers the likes of laser tag and blindfold driving among 20 activities across a 150-acre site.
It attracts around 8,000 visitors to the county each year.
Mr Logan said: “I’ve played paintball for almost 30 years and it is a real passion of mine, so when the opportunity came to set up on my own site I knew it was the career for me.
“We were successful from the outset and knew there was a high demand for this kind of activity.
“After a few years of trading demand for other events was increasing so we started to bring in external providers for activities such as quad biking and archery but quickly realised if we wanted to control the quality of products we had to bring the events in house.
“We now provide 95% of our activities ourselves having made significant investment in equipment and can cater for up to 300 people each day with more than 20 activities on offer.”
Mr Logan has worked closely with the Forestry Commission and the site was the first to lease from the land managers.
By demonstrating his commitment to the conservation of the forest, he has secured the future of the site that was initially earmarked for deforestation in 2020.
