Inghams Celebrates Its 90th Birthday
21st October 2024
In celebration of its 90 years of heritage, Inghams Ski has launched its new brand campaign: At Inghams, we know how! NEW
90 years ago, Walter Ingham took his first group on a skiing holiday to Austria.
Walter advertised the trip in The Telegraph newspaper, offering a ‘Christmas Party Ski Trip’ for 12 guineas and 14 nights, on the train from London to Austria.
It proved such a success, that he organised five more trips to Austria that same winter.
The rest, as they say, is history.

Taking inspiration from a retro Inghams TV advert from the 1980s, the messaging ‘we know how’ reinforces Inghams’ expert knowledge and service that has been built over the last 9 decades.
Rolling out across TV, digital and social marketing channels, the campaign is designed to celebrate the brands legacy, expertise and knowledge.
“Ever since Walter Ingham was inspired to take his first group skiing to Austria back in 1934, we have been working hard to share our passion for skiing and the great outdoors, which is why this campaign is such an important celebration of the last 90 years,” said the current Managing Director of Inghams, John Mansell.

“As well as reflecting on the past, it’s important that we also focus on our commitment to the future as we continue to innovate and deliver outstanding holidays and customer service.
“This includes working closely with our hotel partners, managing our ethical consumption, and doing everything we can to protect the mountains and resorts at risk, and the ski industry and communities that we know and love.”
