Yesterday we had the lovely finalists of the "Gandys Den" come down to present their unique flip flop designs to Rob and Paul. Gandys Den has been launched in partnership with the Hampshire Cricket Community Trust in order to give young kids across Hampshire the opportunity to create and present their own unique flip flop design to the brothers with the winning design being presented in front of 24,000 people at the England v. India test match at the Ageas Bowl in July. The winning designs will also be put into production!
It was a great day, the presentations were all very impressive and the kids showed a ton of confidence, imagination and entrepreneurial spirit! The brothers thought all of the final designs were incredibly creative and want to try and get them all on the high street.
In the end though, the winning design was Hampshire Ruby! Their design had the edge as it was cricket-inspired and with the upcoming Summer cricket season it was definitely the right place and the right time. The designs were all incredibly well thought out and presented and it was most certainly a close competition!
Thank you so much to all of the participants for your hard work and creativity!!
