The BBC's weekly The Boss series Á߰躻µ¿¿ë´ÞÀÌ»ç profiles different business leaders from around the world. This week we speak to Nick Mowbray, the co-founder and co-chief executive of toymaker Zuru.
A few years into trying to build a toy ³²¿µµ¿¿ë´ÞÀÌ»ç business in China, budding entrepreneur Nick Mowbray got a lucky break - a whiff of interest from Walmart.
The US retail giant wanted to ¸íÇ°·¹Çø®Ä«=¸íÇ°·¹Çø®Ä« visit Zuru's showroom in Hong Kong. Nick quickly agreed, and promised to send the address. Now all he had to do was set-up a showroom.
"The next day I'm on a train to Hong, °µ¿±¸Æ÷ÀåÀÌ»ç knocking on doors," the 34-year-old says.
It's a story that captures the early days of Zuru - a company the New Zealander founded with his brother Mat in 2003 - hustling and figuring it out as they went along.
