Yes he was something to do with Ted Baker wasn't he

I think he'll do ok. He's not entering a crowded market from scratch is he?
He's a well known name and even if a bit marmite, knows his stuff and is a good brand leader.
Should've just called it Hamidi and be done with it for me

Thinking Anglers started around 15yr ago with a packet of beads. Have built gradually ever since... 👍
Yes a very good example - one I'd forgotten. A clothing start-up would be quite a clever marketing move as Ali would be able to create a strong team of “consultants”. Ultimately he could recruit a load of his mates without treading on their bait/tackle sponsors toes and then, when they do branch out (which they will) he's already got his foot in the door.
I'm interested to see what he's bringing out.

What can he possibly bring to the table that has not already been done.
You say that braders but if you look at the last 10 years or so, there's been a few game changers. The Spomb is the most obvious one. No-Trace beads. Linkteq and the Freefall Tubing. The Ridgemonkey toaster jobby.
All genuine improvements. I'd not be without most of them.
It only takes one brilliant idea (easier said than done) to get the ball rolling.

TA was started by Ben Hamilton and possibly Steve P I think. Then Sticky came on board too. That's my understanding anyway.
