5 quick fire questions with Adrian Pointer, Managing Director, Simply Sports

Simply Sports Oxted Shop

I decided to attend The International Running Expo because there’s so few opportunities to see so many brands in one place, it seems like a no brainer!

Looking at the exhibitor list for IRX, it’s fantastic to see a range of challenger brands exhibiting. I’m most looking forward to meeting face-to-face with these new brands and seeing their products in action.

Yes, I’m specifically looking for hydration vests and packs.

In-person networking is extremely important in the buying process. Without tradeshows, I’d have never met the founders of ON Running back in 2010 – and the rest is history as they say!

I would say the most rewarding aspect of my job is when we help a customer go from not being able to run due to pain issues, to seeing their recovery journey, and achieving their running goals. Nothing quite beats that!
