Can't see anything different or better than what's already available in the UK.
Not sure where you've seen me claiming Focus is different or better? There are only so many ways to skin a cat, and save for something truly left field such as Mongoose, any brand launching in the modern era isn't going to offer anything different, there are swarms of little brands out there all doing the same thing. I'm hoping our track record with customer service etc gives us a head start, as will the image of the brand as a whole, and specifically the bat stickers, which have attracted a number of people in the industry like moths to a flame when they have been in the shop recently, all 'oohs' and 'ahhhs' and positive comments.
I outlined our reasons for wanting to take on the brand in the first post.
Chiefly it's to have something we can be in control of. I can't tell you how nerve wracking it is come June/July looking at what stock is left and trying to second guess what the brands are going to change or discontinue, and weighing up the gamble of putting stuff in a sale or not. With Focus we can plan ahead with far less worry as we know nothing changes unless we decide to change it.
It's a useful string to our bow and amongst other things allows us to help fledging pros like Rob Sayer. We've provided shoes to him since he signed terms with Leics but in his specific case sorting a kit deal with him has been hard work as we can't give another brands kit away in a sponsorship. He's too laid back for his own good and never chased up H4L and B&S who we told him to contact and who were both keen.
