(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 Richie Gibbons as sales representative for Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland and Delaware.
A golf industry veteran of more than 35 years based out of Philadelphia, Gibbons has previously been awarded Sales Person of the Year for the New Jersey and Philadelphia PGA sections. In addition to Galvin Green, Gibbons currently represents Martin Golf, Fennec Golf, Imperial Headwear, Club Glove and Sterling Cut Glass, among others.
“As one of the best sales representatives in his region, Richie has assisted in significant growth for other brands and we believe he will do the same for Galvin Green,” says Andrew Creed, President of Galvin Green USA. “The area is full of potential with some of the country’s top facilities and having Richie there to showcase the brand will be a perfect fit.”
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.
In addition, Galvin Green was named 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.
