Classic Showjumps leap to success!

UK Trade & Investment are to feature a success story about Classic Showjumps in their forthcoming magazine.

When we first ventured into the Equestrian market a few years back we were known as Horse Blocks. Initially we supplied end users as we were not familiar with the leading trade outlets at that time, but our ambition was always to deal exclusively with the trade. Parent company Excelsior has always done things this way so with Horse Blocks we took the same view.

Once our product range had a foothold and the public were aware of it, we started to advertise in trade only magazines such as Equestrian Business Monthly and Equestrian Trade News, and things started to progress as we had hoped they would. On the European front we contacted UK Trade with a view to seeking help and advice from them which led to us purchasing reports for every major European country in addition to Scandinavian countries.

This has significantly contributed to us winning new contracts across Europe and was a fantastic indication of what Europe had to offer, hence the reason that we exhibited at SPOGA in Cologne for the first time in Sept 2010. We are adding new trade customers all the time and will again be exhibiting at SPOGA this coming September where we will be showcasing several new and exciting products - we hope to see you there!

Giles & the team.
