Posting on behalf of Stephen Rollinson -
Dear fellow bowlers,
For those who do not know me, my name is Stephen Rollinson, and I’m an avid bowler at the most northerly bowling club on the British mainland. Based in the small town of Thurso, Caithness, Scotland, Thurso Bowling Club boasts over 170 members. For the past three years, I’ve been exploring the idea of manufacturing chalk spray within the UK, as I believe most existing bowls chalk sprays are made in China. After learning that import duties are quite high for products containing volatile liquids, I saw an opportunity to produce chalk sprays locally, cutting out these costs and offering UK bowlers a more affordable, homegrown option.
Starting this business was no easy feat, but three years on, we’ve created a chalk spray that outperforms existing chalk sprays on the market. After obtaining major investment, we developed a new valve design that boosts yield by over 50%, giving our bowls chalk an average of 650 sprays per can compared to the usual 425 from other brands. Working with a material testing lab in Hertfordshire, we also crafted a hydrophobic chalk formula that repels water, ensuring long-lasting, durable marks that can withstand even the toughest weather conditions..
We’re excited to invite individuals, clubs, and retailers to purchase our “Spot on Chalk Spray” from our online store at [www.spotonbowls.co.uk] We also offer great discounts for clubs and retailers interested in selling to individual players and members, with discount codes available on request. We’d love for you to check out what we offer and welcome any comments or feedback to help us grow our business.
I would be most grateful if you could share my post.
Kindest regards,
Stephen Rollinson. "Spot On Bowls"
