A Bangor teenager has revealed how a business started in his bedroom during lockdown has led to tens of thousands of football shirt sales two years later.
Rory McLaughlan found himself with time on his hands in 2020, as the then lower-sixth pupil at Our Lady and St Patrick's College Knock was affected by the lockdowns.
"And from there I just kept doing it and repeating it, and then in March 2021, I think I sold £3,000 of football shirts in the first weekend of my online store, which was Rory's Football Shirts. "We've five full-time employees in Northern Ireland, three in the rest of the world and about 15 part-time staff, it's crazy how quick it's grown."
"On top of Shirt in a Box, we've got The Kit Room which is a new business we just recently started up and The Numbers Game which I'm a co-owner of, they're all football based," he added. And the sky is the limit in terms of plans for the future, with Rory explaining that he wants to keep driving with that hunger for expansion and disruption.
