British International Trading P/L has had an active and unique
role in the Australian golf industry since its inception due to the relationship with the
TI Group and their subsidiary TI Apollo, the maker of the Apollo golf shafts up until
January 2000.
The relationship started even before that time due to the role of BTM in Adelaide,
Australia in manufacturing the True Temper products under licence as part of the TI Group
of companies.
Michael Maude, the founding Director of British International Trading P/L had spent his
early career at BTM Australia within the Tubemakers Group, and in that role had been
associated with the sales of the True Temper branded golf shafts being manufactured in
Adelaide for the TI Group. Upon the changes that occurred in True Temper (withdrawal of
licensing approval for manufacture), the Adelaide facility switched briefly to producing
the same shafts under the TI Accles and Pollock name, and a brand called Apollo. This
company then became TI Apollo.
In the late 1970's the Adelaide facility was closed and BTM Agencies division imported the
Apollo branded shafts from the factory in Birmingham UK. Again, through corporate
restructuring (see our history on our main web site) this distribution was moved to TI
International which became British International Trading P/L.
Having this history and association with the golf shafts to all customers in Australia and
NZ saw British International Trading P/L take up a similar distribution arrangement for
golf grips and it is these experiences and business relationships that we draw upon today
as we act exclusively for Eaton Golf Pride in Australia and NZ, as their Associate
Distributor.
In a change to the most recent history of Eaton Golf Pride distribution in Australia / NZ,
British International has implemented a stock and service of the range of Golf Pride grips
such that we can directly meet the needs of sub distributors, assembler / manufacturers,
and the club repairer / Golf Pro marketplace as well. We have structured pricing for all
these categories, and will supply in either full carton qty or broken carton qty down to
only a few grips per order. |
