FenixXCell

Ecommerce

In 2008, Michael Moir, from Aberdeen, Scotland, arrived in Bangkok, Thailand unsure of what the next chapter of his life would be. An avid golfer, while still looking for work, he decided to sign up for various tournaments and corporate golf days around the Bangkok area to keep his game sharp and to network with some like-minded ex-pats and golfers. He enjoyed the golf courses, the camaraderie, and the competition, however, one thing would frequently make the events challenging – the suffocating nature of the polo shirts handed out to all participants to wear. Particularly in the sweltering heat of Thailand, the low-quality fabrics and lack of breathability made playing the game problematic, regardless of how he played.

There was a market there, and Michael sought to tackle this obvious problem. He immediately went to work by sourcing a local factory and getting lighter weight, more breathable polo shirts made up to sell to companies who were hosting corporate golf days. The customers were thankful for the upgrade, and a business was thereon born. From there, Michael took his venture to the next stage by setting up Fenix Apparel and Accessories, a company that not only catered to the corporate event market but became a brand in itself, and its shirts were soon found on the shelves of pro shops and on the backs of both casual golfers and touring professionals around the world.
