History


The company was born out of a franchise agreement between Briscoe Group and Rebel Sport Australia in 1985. The owner of this is the owner of Fantastic Furniture. After successfully overseeing the expansion of the Briscoes Homeware stores from 12 to 22, then company director, James Donnellan, was given the task of overseeing the design and establishment of the Rebel Sport chain of stores in New Zealand. Briscoe has exclusive rights to the Rebel Sport name in New Zealand and the first store was opened in Panmure.



Archer Capital


Archer Capital acquired Amart in 2004.[2] Amart was a big format sports store headquartered in Queensland. Archer Capital also merged its acquisitions of South Australian-based Rowe & Jarman, smaller format stores doing business in Western Australia, South Australia, Northern Territory, Victoria and Tasmania to compliment Amart. Rowe & Jarman became known as Amart.[2][3][4] In 2007, the private equity firm acquired Rebel Sports and consolidated its sports retail businesses into it.[2]



Super Retail Group Limited


In Australia, Rebel Group Limited was taken over by Super Retail Group Limited in 2011.[2] The company stocks a number of well known international brands including, Under Armour, ASICS, Adidas, and Nike. As a group, Rebel Sport (aka rebel) has more than 90 stores across Australia, and employ over 4,500 employees.[5] In 2012, Rebel Sport dropped the word "sport" from its name and adopted a new logo and black and yellow branding.[6]



New Zealand


Like its sister nameplate Briscoes, Rebel Sport is comparable in size to a medium size discount department store. The chain does have a lowest price guarantee, although its unique duopoly position in the market allows it to stock a relatively high-end range while providing wider appeal through a calendar crammed with discount sale promotions.


In 2005, a deal collapsed between Briscoe Group and Lane Walker Rudkin (LWR), owners of the Stirling Sports, which would have seen Briscoe buy out the Stirling franchise. Following this, LWR announced plans to launch several large format stores across the country, beginning with a store in Christchurch, which it opened in mid-2006.





After Stirling's big box launch, Rebel sport began a new marketing campaign targeting a wider audience from their traditional club-orientated team sport audience. The company continued their aggressive expansion programme, launching several smaller-format stores such as Napier and Taupo to allow branches to reach further into provincial areas.



Media


On 25 November 2015, Rebel signed on as Women's Big Bash League's naming rights sponsor.[7] Rebel Sport will also become the official online retail store of Cricket Australia.[8]


Briscoe Group has previously owned the naming rights to the New Zealand segment of the Super 14 rugby union competition, which was branded the Rebel Sport Super 14.[9][10]

Volkswagen Group MQB platform

Image
The Volkswagen Group MQB platform is the company's strategy for shared modular design construction of its transverse, front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout (optional front-engine, four-wheel-drive layout) automobiles. Volkswagen spent roughly $60bn [1] developing this new platform and the cars employing it. The platform underpins a wide range of cars from the supermini class to the mid size SUV class. MQB allows Volkswagen to assemble any of its cars based on this platform across all of its MQB ready factories. This allows the Volkswagen group flexibility to shift production as needed between its different factories. Beginning in 2012, Volkswagen Group marketed the strategy under the code name MQB , which stands for Modularer Querbaukasten , translating from German to "Modular Transversal Toolkit" or "Modular Transverse Matrix". [2] [3] MQB is one strategy within VW's overall MB (Modularer Baukasten or modular matrix) program which also includes th...
