Brian decides to focus on the range of camping equipment first and identifies two other potential suppliers from some basic internet-based research. The three suppliers are: Supplier 1 is CT-UK a UK market leader in Camping equipment and sells very high- quality equipment, already supplying to most outlets. It has a very solid reputation internationally financial basis; a strong brand CT also supplies directly on-line (from their own website). Supplier 2 All Camping (AC) based in South-East Asia and is well established in Australia and New Zealand as a supplier of camping equipment but has not done any business with European companies previously. Initial contact indicates that it is very price competitive. Supplier 3 Camping USA (C-USA) Is the global brand leader can be found in virtually all general camping outlets in Europe, based in US, their source their equipment internationally, some of their products are reasonably good quality ranges but there are also budget ranges which tend to be "disposable" (one use equipment), for the very large festival camping market.
