Nick Hovey, Director of UKKO is the newest edition to the GMG Accelerator. Nick launched UKKO, a new luxury British golf fashion brand for on and off the course in July 2009. Nick used to be a creative himself working in London as a web designer/manager, but his passion for clothing & golf were the inspiration to start the brand. He recently returned back to Cheltenham and has chosen the Accelerator as his base for UKKO. He commented: “There are lots of business premises to chose from. What attracted me about the Accelerator was the open-plan feel and the ability to hire desks as and when I need them, as I will need an extra pair of hands to help me with the growing workload soon. It’s nice to work around other creative people and I’ve already made some valuable connections with other companies on the premises. I’ve been here less than a week and am already working with SpinMe who are creating some 360 images for my website, www.ukko.com… so it’s already proving to be the right move"
Good stuff – a big welcome to Ukko!
