Zip-Lines Ireland which is run by Galway-based entrepreneur Jade Goodfellow is looking for funding to invest in the business to get its own branded Garden Zip-Lines up and running.
It currently sell other brands on their website ziplines.ie and feel that adding their own brand would be a huge step in the right direction for the business.
Mrs Goodfellow who has a background in fashion and costume, is a naturally creative type, so it was only a matter of time before she wanted to put her own mark on the products.
The brand which is due to launch this Summer - pending the successful funding of the campaign will feature a “Superb quality domestic zip-line with style and functionality. These lines hold up to 250lbs so can be used by the whole family”. They also come in a variety of lengths to suit all garden types. “Forget about the trampoline! Zip-Lining’s where it’s at,” she says.
Ms Goodfellow says the overall aim of the business is to ‘Get children outside and active’, tackling obesity, vitamin D deficiencies, short-sightedness and Improving social skills.
With a growing customer base and a proven track record with her customers, Jade doesn’t see a problem selling the zip-lines.
