Southampton-based bike kit firm Covec had a bit of an ocean-going calamity earlier this year when a container of protective riding jeans sprung a leak at sea. The shipping unit took in seawater during its voyage from the far east, ruining the entire consignment of Bull-It denim. The firm was insured, so it has ‘weathered the storm’, and now has full stocks of all its CE-approved kit, ready for dealers to order.
“A load of stock was wrecked due to a leaky container, around 1500 pairs of jeans, and many of these had been on backorder. Dealers were waiting for them, which makes it immensely disappointing as it greatly impacted our service,” said Covec sales manager Elliot Bloxsome. “It was stock that would have sold over summer, so new stock had to be made to fulfil dealer orders – Covec would like to thank its dealers for their patience and loyalty.”
