Behind the Remote
We're pleased to bring you Behind the Remote!
Our newly launched YouTube channel, “Behind the Remote” showcases our daily behind-the-scenes adventures across our four businesses:
Join our CEO, Mark Boyt, and the team for two videos a week, packed with insights, challenges, and the fun moments that come with running these dynamic businesses.
Why YouTube?
Branching out onto a new platform can be daunting, but given the nature of our businesses, we believe YouTube is the ideal medium to connect more closely with our customers. It provides an excellent opportunity to showcase the hard work that goes into delivering a consistent 5-star buying experience, while also offering a fresh perspective on our company culture.
Creating a sense of community around our businesses is a top priority. Building strong relationships with our customers has always been key to maintaining our stellar reputation and driving new sales. Through YouTube, we aim to strengthen this community further by taking viewers behind the scenes and sharing our journey.

Our Businesses
It all began with Drone Safe Register, our parent company. In 2018, Mark took the idea to Dragons’ Den and received three investment offers before choosing to partner with Peter Jones.
The Drone Safe Register aims to connect professional drone pilots across the country with reliable, paying jobs. It is now the nation's largest network of trusted, safe and insured drone pilots available for hire.
In 2020, Mark and his son Thomas teamed up to launch a DJI drone store, building on the success of Drone Safe Register.
The Drone Safe Store grew rapidly, quickly becoming the highest-rated independent DJI retailer in the UK, both online and in-store.
The store stocks a full range of DJI products, along with accessories from top brands such as Freewell, STARTRC, and Insta360, to name a few.
In 2023, the team ventured into an exciting new area of RC with the launch of Voltage Models.
Voltage Models features highly rated brands including Traxxas, Tamiya, FTX, and Arrma, among others.
Expanding further into the world of RC proved to be a fantastic decision, as Voltage Models quickly gained popularity as a leading retailer both online and in-store.
Voltage Models deepened the team’s passion and expertise in RC cars and trucks, inspiring us to create a space where enthusiasts could connect, showcase their skills, and participate in events and competitions. And so, Crawler World was born.
In October 2024, Crawler World - the UK’s largest indoor rock crawler course - officially opened for bookings. Since its launch, it has become a hub for RC enthusiasts, hosting a variety of events, including club meet-ups and exciting partnerships.
Behind The Scenes
As you can imagine, running four businesses can be hard work, especially with a very small team.
Our dedicated team strives to deliver the best buying experience possible from beginning to end. We pride ourselves on our customer service, and believe this is what truly sets our businesses apart from the competition.
Building and maintaining these businesses has come with it’s trials and tribulations, but it has also shown us huge successes and we’re keen to continue growing.
