Although Holt has also considered DFI in the U.K., he would prefer that Blades invest in Thailand as opposed to the U.K. Fore cats indicate that the demand for roller blades in the U.K. is similar to that in the U.S. ; since Blades’ U.S. sales have recently declined because of the high prices it charges, Holt expect that DFI in the U.K. will yield similar results, especially since the components required to manufacture roller blades are more expensive in the U.K. than in the U.S. Furthermore, both domestic and foreign roller blades manufacturers are relatively well establish in the U.K., so the growth potential there is limited. Holt believes the Thai roller blades market offers more growth potential.
