About

The people standing between you and the factory

Sourcing works when someone you trust is physically there. That is the whole business.

Chris Peo

Chris has spent more than two decades living and doing business in China. He speaks to manufacturers directly, walks their production floors, and knows the difference between a factory and a trading company with a good website.

South African buyers deal with him personally. No account handlers, no layers.

In China

On the ground, where it matters

Sourcing is not done from behind a screen. These are our own visits: factory floors, supplier meetings and trade fair halls in China.
