LS2 signs Emmett to cover Ireland

Peter Emmett has joined LS2 to cover Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Emmett has extensive knowledge and experience of the Irish market at both distribution and retail levels. He has a strong background in the accessories sector, particularly with helmets and clothing.

Paul Haskins, LS2’s country manager for the UK, said he is thrilled with the new appointment. “Ireland is a very important market for us and one we have covered since going direct back in

2008. With the recent retirement of Steve Forster we had to move quickly in appointing a successor, and I’m sure Peter will do a great job for LS2 in the future. I want to put our thanks on record to Steve [AKA Trumpy – Ed] for many successful years, many successful shows and many, many laughs!”

Emmett is based in Dublin, so he is well located to cover the whole island of Ireland for LS2. His other agencies include Duell and Kriega luggage.
