Who we are

Fishing Tackle Direct was started by Marc and Chris to inspire and encourage people to go out and enjoy fishing. Our aim is provide quality fishing tackle that is affordable and easy to use

Profiles

Chris - Having worked in local government for a number of years Chris felt it was time to try something new. Having an interest in fishing and seeing the sport as a great opportunity for a business venture he researched the potential of offering affordable tackle. He soon discovered that the aim of providing quality tackle at an affordable price would involve sourcing manufacturing in the Far East. The initial experience wasn't great but with the help of Kerry they were able to find a good reliable partner.

Marc - Also worked for local government and felt like he needed to make a change in his life so that he could spend more time with his family. When he talked this through with his friend Chris they decided they could build a business together. Although Marc has little experience of fishing he is learning the trade and catching on fast.

Kerry - comes from Canton and joined the team initially to help find a suitable manufacturer in China. Kerry visited a specialist fishing trade show in China to meet with prospective partners. Having found a number of potential partners she visited each factory to understand how the company operated and their work ethics. Kerry was able to find the perfect partners for FTD who manufactured the range of rods and reels you see today.
