Rodd & Gunn: Humble sustainability and a global network Flying the Fern

    • Entrepreneurship

When Mike Beagley started as Rodd & Gunn's CEO, the business had around 12 stores. Now it has more than 200, all over the world. The New Zealand menswear brand has grown exponentially in the last 20 years, underpinned by humility and a commitment to doing things the right way.
In this episode of Flying the Fern, host David Downs talks to Mike Beagley about:
The global goal that he’s never broadcast, and why
How they cracked the “toughest market” in the United States
Expanding into hospitality, and getting NZ’s only master sommelier and our only Michelin star chef involved
Adding “New Zealand” to their brand name overseas
Why they don’t talk about the sustainability journey they’re on
