Formed in 2009, North & South Footwear combines years of experience in fashion & marketing to launch brands in the UK & Europe.
The company was formed in 2009, the combining of many years experience of the two directors, Paul Tobin and Kevin Buck. Both had worked in fashion sales and marketing fields for either their own individual companies or through high-profile brands such as Caterpillar, Rocket Dog, Emu, Armani, Miu Miu, Kangol, Gola Classics, Harley-Davidson, Ben Sherman, Acupuncture, Dunlop & Green Flash.
The eureka moment came early last decade when they were asked to launch into the UK market Snipe, the Eco line from the giant German Shoe manufacturer, Gabor. This along with an already thriving market for the Danish Sanita clog set them off into the Eco and Sustainable world which they tend to follow although not exclusively.
Now they are heavily focused on both the fashion and lifestyle markets with attendance at key UK and European Trade shows
Keeping the brand mix tight allows the company is able to offer a hands-on approach. Where needed they call upon specialist agents to cover the market in the UK and Eire.
