A well known expert in the children's footwear industry, Peter has trained with the best, including Gabor, the Freudenberg Group (Elefanten) as well as the Shoe & Shirt Production Group (Richter). His knowledge of the world markets and years of product experience means Sixt will be working closely with the sales management team in Trier and the UK and Ireland to continue the success of the DKM brand.

Peter brings with him a wealth of knowledge which he will use to build upon the heritage, quality and fitting of the DKM brand. By responding to the increasing demands for fashionable influences upon children's footwear and the provision of a comprehensive range of product for girls and boys, the Seibel Group aims to drive pairage growth and brand awareness for DKM.

Strong organisation and preparation has resulted in relevant and more fashion influenced product delivered timeously to the market place. The strong European influence of the brand provides a point of difference, whilst working with the UK and Irish markets has resulted in the incorporation of practical elements the range required.

The collection for both girls and boys offers infants through to seniors, high quality footwear at competitive prices. Investment in new soles and lasts alongside existing successful product provides a comprehensive brand offering. The invigorating spring 2008 range sees greater attention to durable leathers and relevant colours for the market, including refreshing pinks and blues alongside browns and naturals.
