Episode 4

Episode 4 features Harriet Riley, co-founder of Forewinds, a Canterbury-based women’s golf clothing brand.

In the podcast we discuss how Harriet and her mother Liz started the company out of a need for stylish and comfortable golf wear made from quality materials such as merino and organic cotton. They discuss the origins of Forewinds and the challenges and joys of starting a business with family.

Harriet also shares insights into their customer support and marketing strategies, including social media and local community engagement. The episode concludes with a lively quick-fire question segment and enthusiasm for the brand’s future in supporting New Zealand-made products and expanding its presence in the golfing community.
