About WarbyGK
 
The WarbyGK concept began in the Autumn of 2007 when renowned freelance goalkeeper coach Bob Warby entered the Goalkeeper Gloves market with his brand. WarbyGK were one of the first "independent small brands" to enter the UK market and have successfully established a strong reputation in a crowded market place for their high quality goalkeeper gloves and customer support.
 
Their first model was with the Goleiro Pro-T, an entry level training glove that featured ribbed internal latex, and the strong design spawned the impressive Goleiro Pro range which included Warby's first limited edition goalkeeper glove - the original "Legend".
 

The range developed and at midnight on January 01 2009 WarbyGK released the Portiere Pro range of goalkeeping gloves. These gloves were extremely well received by the goalkeeping public and were worn by the brands first contracted professional goalkeeper, Simon Rayner of Crawley Town FC. Several other goalkeepers were recruited throughout the Portiere Pro lifespan and they made the brands first Wembley appearance when Adam Collin showcased his SMU goalkeeper gloves in the Johnstones Paint Trophy for Carlisle United.

The Portiere Pro range introduced Finger Protection, Adesivo Latex, Embossed Palms and Acqua Latex for the first time in the brands history.

In March 2010 the brand launched a "Try Me, Love Me" campaign to introduce new wearers to the benefits of WarbyGK gloves, the campaign was so successful that the warehouse had been emptied after just 3 days of the promotion! The success was unpredicted and overwhelming and as a result caused the company to be gloveless for 5 weeks, until they brought forward the release of the new Superior Pro range of gloves.

WarbyGK used this time to relocate offices and now owns a purpose built office and warehouse in Boston, Lincolnshire.

Throughout it's lifespan, the WarbyGK brand has supported numerous charitable causes including Boots For Africa and the Craig Bellamy Foundation. As a brand, WarbyGK are very aware of their social responsibilities and even introduced a Goalkeeper Glove Recycling scheme - the first known scheme in the marketplace.

WarbyGK went limited in 2010 and even took on it's first employees in the same year as the business continued to flourish, supported by the very welcome support from it's ever growing family of goalkeepers.

WarbyGK also have an excellent agent in Australia, Stewart at Smine Products. Please visit http://www.smineproducts.com.au to buy your Warby goalkeeper gloves direct in Australia
