(VÄxjö, Sweden) – Galvin Green – the world’s leading maker of functional golf clothing for serious players and the No. 1 global golf partner of GORE-TEX® – announces the hiring of Derek Roach as sales representative for Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas. As part of his transition to the territory Derek will also cover Missouri, excluding the St. Louis area, and Minnesota, excluding a hand full of existing accounts that will remain under current representation.
Based in the Minneapolis area, Roach is a graduate of Troy University boasting 11 years of experience in the golf industry. He previously represented FootJoy, where his success led to significant sales growth. In addition to Galvin Green, Roach currently works with Donald Ross Sportswear and Devereux, among others.
“As we continue our strong momentum in the US, we want sales representatives who have a strong track record of territory growth,” says Andrew Creed, President of Galvin Green USA. “Derek exemplifies the kind performance we’re seeking and he’s a welcomed addition to our team.”
Based in Sweden, Galvin Green is a pure golf brand that developed the sport’s first apparel layering system – the Multi-Layer Concept – more than a decade ago. This distinctive approach uses leading-edge fabric technologies to ensure the dry comfort, thermal regulation and outer protection that helps players optimize performance.
Galvin Green was recently selected as the Official Team Supplier of Outerwear to the 2016 and 2018 European Ryder Cup Teams. Through this partnership, the company will provide its premium waterproof garments to the captains, vice captains, team members and their caddies during the upcoming matches at Hazeltine National Golf Club (2016) and Le Golf National (2018).
Also distinguishing the brand is its ‘Dress for the Weather’ app. Free on the App Store or Google Play, the app provides detailed five-day forecasts for thousands of courses in the U.S., Canada, the U.K. and Europe, and recommends ideal layering solutions for expected levels of heat, precipitation and wind speed.
