A day out of the office

Yesterday I had a day out of the office and went to visit the lecturers and students in Salford, who make up the Sports Equipment Design - BSc (Hons) course.  I was there to explain our coLAB09 competition and a little bit about how Alpkit started and how we operate.
I was given a quick tour of the very impressive facilities along with a brief overview of the course. We then had quick Q and A session, well it would of been if I hadn’t rabbited on like I do but hopefully I conveyed some thoughts on how we see ourselves and the rest of the market. I then went to explain a little about the origins and purpose of the competition and brief look at some of last years entries.

On the train back to Nottingham I saw a guy with an arc’teryx backpack, Macpac softshell and a NZ accent who got on at Alfreton. I took a bit of a punt and guessed it was Equip’s new rucsac designer Mat. I said hi and introduced myself, I was right .....small world.
