MINI PIRATE - a new beginning

[CrazyPhil]

MINI PIRATE BOARDED! ANCHORS UP!

NEW INVESTORS SHOW FAITH IN THE VISION

Thanks to substantial investment in the company by two established members of the on-line MINI community, I am pleased to confirm that Mini Pirate now has a secure long-term future and is ready to move onto the next phase of its development and expansion plans.

A quick talk with the man who ‘is’ Mini Pirate, Phil Craddock:

“The level of support shown by all of the MINI communities has been overwhelming and I’d like to say a big thank you for all of the kind words and messages,”

“It is because of the publicity surrounding our problems that two long established members of the MINI community approached me and asked about investing in Mini Pirate. Despite interest shown from other companies in buying out the Mini Pirate brand, I have always wanted to keep it as part of the MINI scene rather than just ‘another’ company.

As a result, when the opportunity arose to expand the company with help from within the community it was the only choice to be made.”

What differences will this make to Mini Pirate?

"The new people bring additional skills to the company from sales, marketing and finance perspectives."

"The main difference this will make is that I can focus on the design, production and installation side of things, while the sales and administration can be dealt with by other members of the Mini Pirate team.

What does this mean for Mini Pirate products; any substantial changes there?

“We’re looking to substantially increase the range of product types available whilst keeping the personal touch and attention to detail that Mini Pirate has become famous for,”

“It’s important to me that the only thing that changes is the quantity of business, not the quality.”

So, what can we expect from Mini Pirate in the future?

“With the extra help I’m getting Mini Pirate can make sure we keep people up to date with what we’re offering and developing. As soon as the legal side of things is finalised then I’ll be able to talk more about the other people who are becoming members of the Mini Pirate crew. As you can see, they’ve already got me issuing Press Releases rather than just posting on-line!”

Lastly, any final words to the members of the MINI public at large?
“If anyone wants to help spread the word by carrying some Mini Pirate logos, give me a shout!”


In other words, Mini Pirate is well and truly open for business!
