Shiner is NHS' exclusive distributor in the UK. These dudes got it goin' on. Sr. Sales Mgr. Holly Anderson got a chance to go thru there during her UK tour. Chris Allen, is the owner/director of the company. Shiner's been around since 1936 when they started distributing building supplies in the UK. 40 years later, in 1976, Chris' dad, Michael, soon became the first major distributor to import skateboards into the UK. They still occupy the same building, but recently built a large warehouse facility. Today, Shiner is one of the major skateboard distributors in the world.
The man himself

Marc - General Manager

Shiner's Original Building Trucks from 1936
