Vickers Armstrong was founded in 1927, but the Vickers name boasts a heritage that stretches much farther back than that, beginning in Sheffield in 1828.

Remember Rihanna's music video for 'Umbrella'? Of course you do. Forgetting (or not knowing) about something as iconic as that is like saying you don't know what bananas taste like.
The thing is, looking at that video nowadays, you realise not only is her umbrella barely big enough for whoever she was singing about to stand under it with her, she barely opens the thing at all and just kind of swings it around.
Look, we're not bashing Riri, we're just saying: if you want to stand (or sit, or lie) under something worth your time, make it something like our deal on an Outdoor Vogue Cantilever Umbrella from Canopix.
