WDP-Angel Paintball Sports-Company Restructure
By Angel Paintball Sports
Other changes in our current, major restructuring program will be announced as they come into effect but we can now confirm: ANGEL Markers, Accessories and Spares will be available in the US directly from ANGEL Paintball Sports and from our 3 US Distributors American Paintball Supply, JT Sports and Kee Action Sports. For Europe and the Rest of the World directly from ANGEL Paintball Sports, Manic Paintball (European distributors of Draxxus Brand Paintballs) and all of our existing dealers, distributors and agents. Our exciting range of Leisure Wear is available on-line through
www.ActionVillage.com, or
www.ANGELPaintballSports.com and from our distributors at the bigger Paintball Events.
With Owen leaving to join one of our longest standing customers Badlands we felt this was the right time to strengthen our links with well known distributors to add ever more ways for people to purchase ANGEL Brand products. We wish Owen and Badlands every success and look forward to working together in the future.
Frazer Colley has been promoted from within the company to become Technical and Team Sponsorship Manager and will be working even closer with our US Super Techs Robert "PI" Moon and "Red" Ken Crane to offer the fantastic back up and service that our customers demand.
Matt Green, previously WDP's Head of Sales, is the new Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer at Angel head quarters. Many of you will know Matt from his role as presenter/commentator at this year's Millennium and the NPPL S7 Events during its tenure with Pure Promotions. Matt says : "I am looking forward to working with all our new and existing distributors and believe that our new business model for 2008 will be more inline with what you would find in other more established industries. This will bring more accessibility to ANGEL Brand products than ever before and coupled with the many new products planned for launch in early 2008 makes it a really exciting time in the company's history."
Bart Walkerdine joins Matt as President and Chief Operating Officer. Bart is ex CEO of Pure Promotions and is looking forward to renewing a successful partnership with Matt after the success of their work together in the pre 2007 NPPL Super World Series. Bart says: "We have been busy over the past few months re-shaping the company, making it into a much more focused business. We still have more work to do before this re-structure is complete but we are right on track. We have a fantastic team of people here, a solid and improving product line, top of the line distribution and a great brand. We're looking forward to working more closely with all of our contacts in the paintball industry and we can guarantee you that there are some exciting times ahead. The future here looks very positive."
They will no longer be known as WDP. Now just Angel Paintball Sports.
