I love people and always have. I have also fostered a love for being entrepreneurial since a young age. This entrepreneurial spirit has taken many shapes and forms throughout my career, from creating new businesses from inception, or assisting businesses through intervention and creating new development.
For years I have watched bowls and other sports from the sidelines. It was through observation I noticed the different types of gripping creams, sprays and waxes. Often someone would open up their product and either smear it all over the bowls ball or onto their hands for the extra grip. The smells were awful, and then I would watch someone lick their fingers and imagined all the chemicals they were ingesting.
I then started to look at the ingredients in several products and noticed they were laced with chemicals.
Having been on a natural healing journey, I thought that there must be a better way to make a natural wax without chemicals. This was easier said than done. It took over 8 months of experimentation to get enough tackiness. I realised that what I had created was truly special.
I supplied into the SA, Australian and Scottish markets.
However, I felt that it needed just a little more tackiness and softness and experimented for another 3 months. I was thrilled to have created an even tackier wax.
So, by using an all natural tacky wax called Grippin’ Stuff! You only need apply to your fingertips, rub your fingers together and it activates the wax.
Less is indeed more and a 60g tin can last as much as 10 months if not longer depending on how much sport you play.
The application can be used in any sport in which you need that little extra help … “Don’t let it slip, get a grip!”

Constantly developing to make the Grippin’ Stuff! easier to use, I developed a rollup stick, which conveniently fits into your pocket.
