Allan Slade has joined Axis Outdoor/Granger's as Sales and Marketing Manager.
“When I was with Granger's and competing against the people at Axis Outdoor, who, at the time, were distributing Nikwax, I gained enormous respect for them,” Slade said. “Granger's held an excellent position in the market, but it was sobering to discover just how strong the bond between dealers and the team at Axis Outdoor really was. It was very hard to entice dealers away from them, even with the advantage of being the only supplier with the W.L. Gore endorsement.”
