Sam Leccia leaves Oliva (Where his Nub brand lives)

[nicwing]

Just picked this news up on Facebook, anyone know any more?

Sam is a cool dude and started up the Nub brand in his garage, he was the figurehead for the brand and travelled the US like a rock star promoting the brand.

Be interested if anyone has any news on what happened and where he is headed, Sam is one of the good guys.

guess this will be a case of "watch this space" Am sure we have not seen the last of Sam.
wonder what he will come up with next, i wouldnt be suprised to see a new brand out soon:41:

The news is a couple of weeks old. Rumors that Oliva may give him a subsidiary or him going it alone are floating about.

I'm sure Lee Nub has some more info on this.

I hear that Oliva felt he had grown bigger than the Oliva brand itself and wanted to get back to that.

I heard similar Jimster me lad, possibly from the same source.

Typical US business tactics in my book. Get a figured to help build a grand, review marketing and cost after a couple of years and figure that a new approach to marketing without Sam is needed and ultimately much better for the bottom line.

No thought for the individual. Hopefully he got a nice thank-you $$$$ and has gone back to his garage T9 cool up something new and innovative line a 2" x 85 ring gauge doozie.
