Philip Marsh, a Managing Director of the Britain´s key marine clothing and footwear company comments on this year´s METS. “METS was a huge success for Chatham. We expect to sign new distributors and retailers as a direct result of the show. Interest was global, from the Caribbean to Croatia, Poland, the Ukraine and New Zealand.”

“With our current product range, combined with our escalating brand awareness, it was the right time to exhibit at METS. Our new footwear appealed, with strong interest in the Chatham G2 professional range of deck shoes, especially the men’s innovative Sloop and Schooner styles, plus classics like Deck, Kayak and Bermuda. Interest in the women’s lines was biased towards the more fashionable looking Sport collection – a picture that mirrors what’s happening in the UK marketplace.”

“METS was the perfect platform for our new sales teams in Denmark, Holland and Sweden to do business, as they extend our distribution across Europe. We’re planning for strong growth and METs was a good indicator – we’re feeling confident about the year ahead.”
