Intro into Nick Rivett Sport Ltd

I am not sure how I am going to use this Blog but at present I am going to use it as a diary to document the many thoughts and events that go on in my head and in the shop on a weekly basis.

Intro into the Main Players

Nick Rivett

As my good friends will know I am very much focused on the immediate present. I do not plan and I cannot finish anything to save my life. I dont get that feeling of reward by scrubbing it off my 'things to do' list and I have either misplaced it or been interupted and gone onto somthing more interesting half way through.

I am OCD about the latest thing I have decided to get into and will do it to the death up until the point I lose, have a bad practice, injure myself or generally lose interest. 

I prefer to be with people than by myself, I'm sarcastic, find it difficult to say No and go quite when upset.

Jo Rivett

Jo on the other hand is ruthlessly efficient and plans her lists to the minute, she has a task and gets it done and lives about 2 weeks in the future. She is organised, efficient and likes routine.
She needs her space, tells it straight and finds it difficult to rest.

Burt Rivett

He is our 8 month old Pug, Burt is incredibly spoilt and gets whatever he wants, not in a 'My pug is the best' type way but in what is the easiest way to shut him up type way. We have created a very cute and adorable monster. Burt is found sleeping on carrier bags, weeing on anything that dangles or permenantly attached to Jo's hip. He is our furry baby and we now wouldnt have it any other way. 

Nick Rivett Sport

We all gave our jobs up at the begining of this year to focus on opening a 1000sq ft general sport shop in Church Road Hove. It was always a passion/dream of mine and after a few personal setbacks we decided that lifes too short and the time is now. 

I gave up my job as a Retail Accountant and Jo hers as a Retail Buyer and with Slick Rick (My Dad - Previous Department Store Manager) The wheels of Nick Rivett Sport started to turn. 

After 4 years serious work, Intersport Nick Rivett Sport opened its doors on 28th May 2010 and so it began. http://www.nickrivettsport.co.uk/


We will forever be learning but even over the 4 months we have been open the shop has generate some rather amusing stories, especially when you add the 'General Public' into the mix.
