An inspiring walk in Nick Dreyer, Co Founder of Veldskoen, shoes.
SPEAKERS:
- Nick Dreyer – Co Founder of Veldskoen
We had the pleasure of welcoming Nick Dreyer from Veldskoen, who shared the incredible, proudly South African story of how he and a lifelong friend Ross Zondagh, after facing several individual entrepreneurial setbacks, came up with a brilliant idea that would change their lives forever.
Through bold decisions, relentless determination, and a touch of luck, Veldskoen was born—and quickly transformed into a massive global success.
Nick & Ross’s journey provides valuable insights into building a brand from the ground up, scaling it internationally, and how their proudly South African identity and storytelling became key drivers of their brand’s success.
By fully embracing their South African heritage, they turned local roots into a cornerstone of their global appeal. Their story is a true testament to the power of perseverance and the importance of staying authentic to one’s origins.
Truly inspirational, and as Nick so aptly said ‘We South Africans are well built like Veldskoene…’
