Since it has been awhile and we have lots of new awesome followers/people on here I thought I would introduce us :)
Im Jamie (The wife,The Mum, The social media repesentative :P, The NON CREATIVE)
Ben (My Husband, The BEST Dad, The clever one who builds the boards)
Grayson (The GRAY in the name, Our son who goes to school this year eek )
Riley (The RILEY in the name, Our beloved 16 year old dog who is now in doggy heaven hopefully chasing balls all day long)
Eden (Who isnt in the name yet he came after the business started, Our beautiful 2 year old full on son! )
Wilson (Who isnt in the photo is our new puppy who is an absolute pest with the biggest ears and a LOT to live up to after following on from Riley :P )
Riley & Gray was started in 2021 very randomly. How it happened was it was our son Grayson hence the Gray in the names 1st Birthday and I asked Ben if he could make Grayson a busy board we had looked for one but just couldnt find anything decent or top quality so Ben went and got all the gadgets and made one for Grayson it was a VERY expensive and VERY time consuming process but the board was VERY cool sometime after a few friends saw the board and started saying how cool it was and one actually asked Ben if he could do one for them.
Long story short Ben started designing and figuring out new ways to make these boards so that they had the top quality and were 100% safe they are still very time consuming to make but thats all worth it seeing all the photos etc you guys send us.
We hear from Dads ALL of the time who have tried to make a busy board and realised wow its very costly and a lot more complicated than they initially thought :P
Anyway thats a novel about us at Riley & Gray we are a family owned small NZ business and Ben makes all the boards from our Garage in Taupaki. We will be at Kumeu Market this month and also at Kumeu Show next month, We now also have a website so you can order online :P
Jamie , Ben, Grayson, Eden & Wilson
