Just like all of the great sports teams in years gone by, every member of our team is vital to our success. For our customers who only speak to us on the telephone or by e-mail, here is a little more information about the Zapkam team:

"I founded Zapkam in 1998. I started designing and importing goalkeeper gloves with pocket money, at 9 years old, without my parent's knowledge. My first memorable kit sale was at 14 years old when I skipped school to catch the bus to an appointment with the customer [another local secondary school]."
"Football is my number one sport; my weekends are usually spent playing or watching it. I also enjoy playing tennis and squash."

"Manchester United has been my team since a very young child, but I more regularly go and watch Aston Villa with my brother as they are nearer to home."
"I retired from playing at the end of the 2025 season; realising my legs were past it!"

Ross is another success story as part of the apprenticeship scheme, he started on May 23rd 2016 and was given a role as sales exectuive after the apprenticeship finished.
Ross loves football and cricket, he admits football is his main sport and takes priority over cricket if the two are to ever clash.

Ross supports Newcastle United FC as members of his family are from up north, he's supported them for as long as he can remember.
Ross plays football for local team Cotswold Rangers FC and has had spells of playing cricket for Quedgeley and Hardwicke cricket club.
