Our story · Hamburg · since 2013
Boutique by design.
International
by experience.
A specialist travel retail business with the relationships and operational capability to work internationally – and the speed, access and senior involvement to stay personal.
The beginning
A different kind of distribution company.
SKYlink was founded in Hamburg in 2013 by Barry Fitzpatrick and Thomas Wesch. Both believed travel retail could be commercially ambitious and personally accountable at the same time. That principle still defines the company. Every partnership is treated as an individual business – not another line on a spreadsheet.
