Stephen said: “To say I’m excited is an understatement. As soon as I connected to Damon, I could feel his passion for the outdoors and for Kelty and Sierra Designs. It’s our shared values which I know will make this a success. To be given the opportunity to introduce these quality American outdoor products to Ireland is a pleasure and something I don’t take lightly.
