Hi Guys this bit of information may interest some Members and possibly a lot of Members may not pay any attention to it at all.
As a very new brand to the UK market we started out on showing our products to 90% of the retailers country wide the response back regarding quality and price was very well received but on follow ups from our visits the reluctance to stock our brand was shown in the no of forward orders placed . Four retailers did put there trust in us for 2014 for which we are extremely gratefull Vitas Cricket in particular we're very forthright in there fondness for the brand and to date have been by far the most succesfull retailer regarding B&S sales. In the forth coming season we will continue to sell to any interested retailers that are willing to stock our products BUT WE WILL ALSO BE SELLING DIRECT TO THE GENRAL PUBLIC. For the brand to survive here in the UK our sales need to increase and the only way forward we feel is direct sales . We are very pleased to say Vitas will still be stocking and selling our product there view is that the product is of very good quality and there is still a decent enough margin for them to make hopefully other retailers will think like wise B&S must stress at this point that all retailers are treated exactly the same there is no difference in prices or terms and conditions for anyone .
How does this help the GENRAL Public hope fully once you have read below the answer will be self explanatory

At those prices I'm sure you'll generate a lot of interest! What level of protection are the gloves classed as i.e. Test/International, County, Club?
-
Any ex-VAT prices for overseas orders?
-
Protection level of gloves are test match quality our sponsored internationals use these gloves.VAT we are not VAT registered yet as and when we achieve the turn over figure required to become VAT registered only then can we deduct VAT no overseas orders you will find our postage rate very competitive if our products take off we will certainly look into the VAT scenario
