Alan Davies to Open Eqclusive Showroom
16th February 2018
Eqclusive is delighted to announce that super groom and BGA member and Ambassador Alan Davies will open the company’s new Glasgow showroom on 10th March 2018. To celebrate the launch, Eqclusive has just 50 tickets to giveaway to people who would like to attend.
Despite being a fairly young company, Eqclusive has quickly become a big name in the equestrian industry thanks to founder Marta Kotonska’s exacting standards and keen eye for the best equestrian products. In addition, Marta also develops products and the Eqclusive brand is best known for the Eqclusive Brush Packs and Alan Davies brushes, both of which are exclusive to the brand.
“We are so excited to officially open our new showroom,” said Marta, “And we’re delighted that Alan agreed to open it too. We sponsor Alan and work with him very closely and it’s great that he’ll be opening our new bigger premises and speaking to 50 of our customers and fans who will be coming to the grand opening.”
In 2016, Alan developed his own range of brushes that went on sale with Eqclusive in 2017. The pack created contains eight brushes needed to turn the horse out to the highest possible standard when at home or competing. Alan has travelled around the world, to World and European championships as well as the Olympics, where his attention to detail and devotion to the horses he cared for have earned him widespread admiration. In 2015, he was awarded Team GB Groom of the Year, in 2016 he won Horse & Hound Groom of the Year, and in 2017 he won FEI Groom of the Year.
"I'm really excited to be coming up to Scotland to see the new premises of Eqclusive,” said Alan, “I've been working together, with Marta for over a year now; we both share a huge passion for grooming and taking care of horses and we are looking forward to developing new and inspiring ideas. Great times ahead! "
There are a limited number of tickets available for the opening. For more information, see www.eqclusive.com and follow on Facebook www.facebook.com/eqclusive.
