SGB UK January
My feet have barely touched the ground since taking over as editor of SGB UK and the year ahead looks set to be a very exciting one indeed! The sports industry has such a positive vibe - I feel quite revitalised by the stories of success I have heard, and already the desire to be more active has taken hold.
I am also delighted to announce that we have teamed up with the National Independent Sports Trade Show which, when it opens its doors in June, will offer independent retailers a superb opportunity to see a plethora of quality brands all under one roof. For more of this and other news, turn to page 4. I am really keen to start running a reader's letter page, a platform from which your views and comments on the industry can be heard. Also, let me know what you think of the magazine - what do you want to read about?
Hi-Tec paid a visit to SGB Towers this month, full of fun about the innovative technology being used in its latest badminton and squash shoes. Turn to page 10 to find out what the company has got so excited about - and rightly so!
I also managed to get an exclusive chat with Bob Hope of Molten Sports and found out some very interesting facts about the man behind the brand. Put your feet up with a cuppa for this one on page 12!
David Ling of Skins also got in touch to tell us about the company's highly functional and stylish compression garments. Don't miss what he has to say on page 20!
Locker Room Secrets is still going strong, check out some cool new products on page 14 and see those customers flocking to your doors!
Also, take a look at the funky footwear in my running article on page 18, and then to really get in the swim of things, turn to page 22 to see some of the best swimwear designs on the market!
With two major trade shows set for a February opening, we thought it only right to run a preview of both Ispo and Slide on pages 7 and 22 respectively. Have you got your ticket yet?
Enjoy!
