  In later summer of 2019, I started working as a Business Development Consultant for rapidly emerging American company Prym1 Camo® who have been licensing outside of the States, to use their varied family of patterns. Now in partnership with our business Cervus-UK, we have established a EU footprint in order that businesses can engage with us for licensing enquiries and marketing support based on over 35 years of working in the field. For your information, Prym1 Camo® was built as a concealment solution for outdoors men and women that need to be concealed and blend into their surroundings at all times.​ Our family of patterns allow full flexibility of movement through various terrains, by utilising the depth of colours, shadows and highlights with the organic shapes found on predators in the wild. Unlike the traditional ' sticks & leaves' camouflage or the typical pixelated digital patterns, Prym1 Camo® was designed and built on the basis of being a true hybrid camo. A camouflage pattern that is truly versatile and adaptive, capable of not only blending, but matching a multitude of environments. PRYM1® is the pattern of tomorrow; a camouflage that specifically targets a younger, more active, more conscious generation of hunters, anglers and outdoor people.
