Sweatband.com was established in 1999 with
a clear objective to provide the most comprehensive
range of active sports equipment on-line.
In May 1999, a pilot site "sports-interactive.net"
was launched and established the basis for
the development of sweatband.com.
Sweatband.com was incorporated in September
1999 and began trading in April 2000 - initially
covering just five sports; tennis, cricket,
squash, soccer & rugby - with the aim
of utilising the Internet to provide active
sports players with a broad range of products
across multiple sports at discounted prices.
In Feb 2000 Sweatband received major funding
from Internet Business Group PLC, an AIM
listed web development and web hosting company
with an existing equity interest in the
Company, to develop the business and launch
a greater number of sports departments.
In October 2001 the two companies formerly
merged.
Sweatband continues to thrive and expand
its sports departments, drawing on over
15 years senior management sports industry
experience;
