Cadetshop Pty Ltd was established in April 2005 with the aim of providing a service to the Australian Defence Force Cadets. Cadetshop Pty Ltd is a New South Wales based company in Australia that operates globally, distributing accoutrements and equipment to a variety of customers including, Government, Corporate and Individual buyers.
Our History
In 2004, the founders of the company had a desire to promote the Australian Defence Force Cadets to the wider community and to support the individual cadet unit commanders and managers by providing a one-stop shop for their units and individual cadets. On the 12th April 2005 Cadetshop Pty Ltd was established as a company and the vision of the founders began to turn into a reality.
Although still a young company the support that Cadetshop was given by ADFC units and individuals resulted in an exponential growth. This growth enabled Cadetshop to provide a greater level of service, wider product selection, and ultimately better support to the ADFC.
Over the course of the first five years, Cadetshop started with a limited product selection, principally focusing on Rank Insignia and Name Tags. Over the proceeding years, expansion in the field equipment market enabled cadets and military personnel in remote areas of Australia and abroad, to be able to access equipment and supplies without having to travel to a physical store.
We have also been able to expand our promotional/corporate products, medals, and clothing. Our continued growth has enabled us to deliver items such as Mess Dress Boards and accoutrements to the AAFC. This was a major investment that was only possible due to the support received by our customers.
Over the years, Cadetshop has had the privilege of being a supplier of products to International Sporting events, Major Stage Productions in New South Wales, Federal and State Government Agencies, and most of all, the Cadets of the Australian Defence Force Cadets. In 2009 Cadetshop were proud team sponsors for the World Masters Games.
Our Future
Cadetshop will continue to support the ADFC wherever possible and understands the unique situation that many ADFC Officers and Instructors find themselves in. We are striving to offer a service, that delivers on quality and price as well as providing various options to individual customers. Our focus will always be on supporting the ADFC through our business.
