About Us

As opposite as we are from each other, we’re 2 sides of the same coin — logical and steady (David) meets creative flair (Callum), if we do say so ourselves. With our joint interest in training, and our love for the environment, we decided to put our heads together to create a truly phenomenal clothing brand.

“My early adult life has been around horse riding, with me becoming a professional jockey in my early 20s, but found the constant battle with my weight a real issue to keep race riding. I only discovered the gym and training in my mid-20s — even though I was too big to be a flat jockey, I was still skinnier than all my friends and colleagues. Training and the gym really helped with so many different parts of my life, like my confidence and rehabilitation from years of riding injuries. As I spent so much of my life outside and in different parts of the world, I have come to appreciate the world we live in and how we all have an obligation to do our part. That is why I created Ignite Apparel, combining lots of things I am passionate about — the world we live in, helping and supporting people, and keeping ourselves fit and healthy.”

“I started going to the gym purely for aesthetics — I wanted to look good on a beach. The same is still partly true now, but I’m becoming more and more interested in the science behind it, and am constantly trying to see how far I can push my body and find exactly where my limit is (I’ve had a few injuries with this way of thinking). Added to the fact I’ve always taken an interest in the environment and what we can do for it, and my love of fitness, starting a sustainable gym clothing brand with my best mate was a great idea.”
