How We Got Here
Our CEO, Alex, kickstarted our incredible journey right from his school playground. It all began when he bought a cricket bat online for £60 and decided to inquire about its production cost from the manufacturers. Surprisingly, they revealed that it only cost £6 to make. Seeing an opportunity, he bought ten bats directly from them and started selling them to friends and teachers. However, this unknowingly breached the school's rule of no sales over £10.
Realizing the potential for a business, 17-year-old Alex was determined to take it to the next level. Working relentlessly seven days a week at a builder's merchants, he saved up an impressive sum of £13,000. With this hard-earned money, he took a daring leap of faith and invested it all in purchasing an entire container of sports nets, foregoing the traditional need for samples. Fortunately, his risk paid off, and with unwavering support from his father in the packaging process, he worked day and night to make his venture successful. In 2009, Net World Sports officially became a limited company, marking the beginning of an inspiring success story.
Today, as a leading international sports equipment provider, we pride ourselves on offering an extensive product range that caters to nearly every sport imaginable. From football, baseball, and cricket to tennis, golf, netball, lacrosse, handball, and rugby, we have it all. Not stopping there, we have also branched out into fitness, leisure, and home & garden products, broadening our repertoire even further.
