March 2009: Neil Pryde knows where to shop... |
 |
|
 |
| Riks had a surprise visitor this week when Neil Pryde, yes the Ayatollah himself, popped in whilst on business here in the United Kingdom. |
|
| Neil is the Managing Director of Pryde Group, an assemblage of companies with roots in manufacturing, sports branding and worldwide distribution. As someone who likes to be 'hands on' he is a very busy man overseeing the entire operation so it is rare for us to be extended such a courtesy. |
|
| Whilst here we discussed the UK windsurfing market and how well our brands (Neil Pryde and JP Australia) are fairing through the current economic downturn and looked ahead to an even stronger future. |
|
| Before leaving Neil commented that he had never seen such a well stocked, committed and brand dedicated outlet for his windsurfing products and highly commended us on what we are doing. |
|
| Thanks Neil for stopping by...so it's official...even Neil Pryde shops at Riks! |
