Our Core Values

Our commitment to animal welfare is unwavering. We invest significant care, time, and resources into every aspect of our work with marine life. By building strong relationships with stakeholders, we ensure ethically sourced fish and invertebrates. Our dedication extends to fostering a sustainable trade, always prioritising the best conditions for the animals. 

We are deeply committed to ensuring the sustainability of the marine keeping hobby for future generations. Our pioneering efforts in welfare and environmental issues—especially related to the collection and importation of marine fish—have garnered us a world-renowned reputation. We proudly stand as a centre of excellence and technical expertise within the industry. Additionally, in our daily operations, we actively minimise our carbon footprint and continually explore energy-saving measures across our company sites.

Our commitment to consistent, high-quality livestock is unwavering. Our short supply chain ensures that we can offer fish and invertebrates of exceptional quality. We're also the UK's leading manufacturer and distributor of innovative commercial filtration equipment and quality branded aquatic products. Our award-winning AquaRay Solid State Lighting range and the REEF for Advanced Aquarists range are testament to our dedication to excellence.

Moreover, TMC holds the distinction of being the first MAC-certified importer in the UK and one of the pioneers in Europe. This certification underscores our unwavering commitment to livestock best practice guidelines.

Our passion extends to everyone, and everything connected to this industry—from 'REEF to RETAIL.' Our gold standard livestock practices are not only shared among our suppliers and communities but also reach beyond supporting livestock. We have a rich history of partnering in projects such as building schools and community structures worldwide. Additionally, our engagement with local schools and academic groups ensures a continuous pipeline of enthusiastic individuals who share our love for the aquatics hobby.

Our global efforts in advising, supporting, participating, and implementing best practice animal welfare standards, along with our technical expertise, are well established. As a long-standing influence within CITES, the international body for the trade in endangered species of wild fauna and flora, we stand out. But what truly sets us apart is our unwavering commitment to our vision: Inspiring synergy between People and Nature.
