Producer of novelty clocks improves their competitivenessFebruary 27 2008

Rig Out produces, wholesales and retails novelty clocks. Originally started as a hobby in 1999 by Matthew and Paula Firth the company has been run on a full time basis since 2004. The company has developed a strong customer base mainly to the gift trade and a reputation for original and funky designs.

In order to move the business forward they needed to expand their manufacturing capacity and decided to move some of this overseas. The Business Enterprise assisted Rig Out with the necessary funding to enable them to this. This move has enabled them to be more competitive and has had a very positive effect on sales. Rig Out are currently talking to potential new customers from around the world.

In addition to supplying the trade, Rig Out also have website which sells direct to consumers.
