SKINS UK has announced the appointment of Blackrocks Brand Management as its master agent for the UK and Ireland.
Originally from Australia, compression brand SKINS has been making a return – after financial pressures ultimately led to bankruptcy proceedings in January 2019. The company was purchased by Symphony Holdings, a Hong Kong based brand investor, last September.
The new owners have started to set-up new distribution deals. One of the most recent has been signing Australian distributor Statewide Sports, and it has now pushed into the UK market with the appointment of Blackrocks.
Paul Varney, Managing Director at Blackrocks, said “I am delighted to add SKINS to our portfolio of performance brands. SKINS is the market leader in compression, travel and recovery and we look forward to welcoming both existing and new stockists.
“Consumer demand is still high; and with a new focus and clear message, the brand looks in great shape. For any wholesale enquiries, please contact info[at]blackrocks.net.”
Black Rocks has offered independent brand management, sales and distribution for companies in fashion, run, bike, outdoor, snow & the sports trade since 1987. It provides both field sales and office support.
