Our founder, Derek Conlon, is a medically retired NYC union construction worker and first generation Irish immigrant who first arrived to the US, landing on Rockaway Beach in 1985.
He is currently living with his family in the Bronx, New York. While rehabilitating from multiple chronic work injuries, Derek Conlon found tranquility amongst the noise of city life, at his local beach, Orchard Beach in New York.
However, during his trips to the beach he witnessed firsthand, several times, the significant dangers of wind blown beach umbrellas.
Over several months and many more visits to the beach, and with a vivid imagination Derek engaged in countless rudimentary attempts at a prototype as he created and refined the idea that is the basis of The Anchor. His goal was to produce a safer, more secure approach to anchoring beach umbrellas and prevent the dangers airborne beach umbrellas pose to the beachgoer.
With the design clearly in mind, and over a period of eight months or so, he set about finalizing the design. He initiated the engineering process first by having specifications created. He then commissioned the first molds with his first manufacturer, and promptly created the first run.
The company has launched and is in the process of introducing The Anchor™, its new, patented, and safer beach umbrella stabilizer to the market. The product has been well received in the market place and is clearly a superior approach to secure beach umbrellas and reduce the risk of injury or worse to beach goers.
