When We Started

Chris has always wanted to work for himself and has always had a strong ambition to own his own successful company. The concept of Elite Koi began in the spring of 2015 and initially only included dry goods. Elite Koi Ltd was incorporated in August 2016 and began trading.

Since then, we have grown so much and now have a successful shop in Grimsby, hosting events throughout the year and supplying the whole UK. We have quickly become your one-stop shop for all things koi.

Why We Got Started

The big passion for Koi was started around 2010 Chris had wanted to enter the show scene of showing Koi. unfortunately life changes changed what he had to do with them.

In 2010 Chris started purchasing some high-quality koi. Having been around Fish and Koi all of his adult life, he felt he understood the needs of the Koi and also more importantly how to keep them healthy and in a good condition.

To get started with showing koi, he decided to take up photographing koi and entering into shows in this way. This process allowed for continued learning about the Koi and development continued throughout the seasons for quite a few years.

We were learning so much from these fascinating creatures and the discovering lots of new things about them. The learning never stops.

Supporting Your Dreams

When we decided to become a Koi dealer, this, unfortunately, resulted in us not being able to enter the UK koi show scene anymore. The reason for this is that we have access to hundreds of high-quality Koi including some of the best Koi in the UK and it would be an unfair advantage on hobbyist.

We still have some of the original Koi that Chris purchased for showing and these Koi take pride and place in our collection in our own pond. I think they have done quite well on the scene, and now we just love helping all of you to reach your goals and show healthy, beautiful koi.
