PakPassion Present Exclusive Interview with Thomas Evans (Questions Thread)

[Cover Drive]

After getting a fantastic response from James Laver's interview I thought I would interview another man who is in line of Cricket Equipment but unlike James Laver he is not a podshaver.

So I'm delighted to announce that we will be interviewing Thomas Evans.

Thomas is not as famous as James and many people might not know him so below is background information on what has done and is currently doing;

- Worked for Fusion Sports, during their initial launch of the Fusion Skyer
- Founded and managed a small UK brand specialising in top quality handmade cricket bats.
- Visited and worked in an Indian factory for a period of approx 2 months in Meerut.
- Joined Mongoose Cricket at launch in 2009 and helped build it into one of the top 6 UK brands and a household name. Main areas of expertise were heading up production and players, but saw pretty much everything. Including launch into the IPL.

Thomas was/is in sales department and agent of players who handled there sponsorship contracts and would provide them equipment they need.

However, I must say that Thomas knows much much more than what he has done so ask anything you wish to ask Thomas (of course within limits )

Do you think Mongoose would be a popular as it is today if IPL wasn't around?

Also what differences did you find working in Indian factories as opposed to English factories in terms of quality, finishing etc?
And finally are you working on any new innovations with Mongoose?
