When Mike Beagley started as Rodd & Gunn's CEO, the business had around 12 stores. Now it has more than 200, all over the world. The New Zealand menswear brand has grown exponentially in the last 20 years, underpinned by humility and a commitment to doing things the right way.
In this episode of Flying the Fern, host David Downs talks to Mike Beagley about:
- The global goal that he’s never broadcast, and why
- How they cracked the “toughest market” in the United States
- Expanding into hospitality, and getting NZ’s only master sommelier and our only Michelin star chef involved
- Adding “New Zealand” to their brand name overseas
- Why they don’t talk about the sustainability journey they’re on
