How the idea came about

We wanted to produce a range of products for women but Peter’s brief was to come up with a garden-related brand probably on a par with makes like Timberland and Barber. When you go into a store, we want to you to be able to buy clothing you’d like to wear to actually do your gardening, but equally, you could buy the associated brand of tools and accessories to go with it.

Why we are on Tycoon

We’re not here for the fame, nor the money really. We have a desire to create something and do it really, really well. We’re hard working and very capable. We think outside the box. We think that our business can go global.
