With over 30 years of combined RF industry expertise, we understand the precision and reliability required for professional RF applications. Our team combines deep technical knowledge with a commitment to exceptional customer service, ensuring you receive exactly what you need for your RF projects.

Originally established in Brisbane, Australia in 2001, founder Peter Martin successfully built and operated the original RFShop before relocating to the UK in 2017.

The Australian operation continues independently at RFShop Australia, now led by David de Haaij and Annika Altmäe in Adelaide.
