Chief Executive Officer Sean Macdonald commented: “Our first product, the Leatt-Brace, is already well known worldwide as a superior neck injury prevention device. It has also allowed us to establish a respected brand in the rapidly-expanding world of extreme sports and a global reputation as a developer of innovative technologies. With this in mind, we believe it is the appropriate time to establish broader visibility in the investment community and the financial media, and thus selected Allen & Caron, an agency with a solid reputation within these financial circles and history of success, to help us build investment support.”
