Surrey Firm Scoops
Softspikes Award

Softspikes, the world's leading manuracturer of plastic cleats, named ND Sports of Leatherhead in Surrey as their international distributor of the
year for 2000 at the recent PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando.

"Nigel Freemantle and ND Sports have done a tremendous job of promoting the Softspikes brand and our line of quality products," said Jon Hyman, CEO of Softspikes.

"Golfers throughout the United Kingdom and all over Europe now realise that they can rely on the high performance of our Black Widow cleats at any time of the year and in all conditions, and we expect that Nigel and ND Sports will continue to play a major role in the further growth and acceptance of our products in their market."

ND Sports, how in its 21st year, is owned and operated by Freemantle, who
said: "This award is a great honour for myself and everyone at ND Sports. The
Softspikes product is the No 1 selling cleat in golf, which does make our job
easier.

"This is a very exciting time for ND Sports as a distributor of Softspikes.
With the new Black Widow colour-coded packaging and the forthcoming launch of a huge incentive programme, we envisage even greater success over the coming months."
