This is a new company retailing sportswear and related items. I will be selling soccer clothing, training wear, NHL, NBA, MLB, NFL products as well as balls, caps, throwback jerseys etc. Also the ability to customize the jerseys, this includes heat transfer and embroidery and will be in the market for a supplier of number and letter products to fulfil this need. My company will have a twin presence, on the web and as a physical entity. I will be developing the company and nurture its growth until the opportunity to acquire a physical store arrives. The location is important to my objective and its necessity to tie itself in with the consumer. I have many years experience, not only as a businessman with years of working with some of the worlds biggest companies, but as a sportsman and a sports fan. I played at semi-professional level as a football player in Scotland and England and currently playing and coaching senior and youth players in Canada. I coached and managed amateur and semi-professional teams in the UK and competed at various levels in other sports, including, rugby and athletics.  My business skills were honed with Nissan Motors, Ikeda Hoover and Johnson Control in the automotive industry, where I worked in senior management and specialised in developing information systems and training companies around the world in Total Productive Maintenance. I have many years in dealing with suppliers and quality control standards and customer expectations. To borrow a phrase from Johnson Controls, my aim is not just to meet the customer's expectations, but to exceed them. The suppliers that I will be dealing with to begin with will reap the advantages of providing support at the outset, where orders may not be big to begin with, but with steady growth in my company, comes steady growth of orders and a loyalty to those who support this belief. I would like to extend an invitation to any suppliers who feel that they can offer a quality, genuine service.
