About DO IT NOW

A BRIEF HISTORY

DO IT NOW was created in 2005 as an Adventure Company by Francois Flamengo and Paul Carrick. Its initial purpose was to offer clients trips and weekend breakaways and serve as a vehicle for friends and acquaintances to join in the adventure activities the owners participated in. Since the inception of DO IT NOW five year ago, Francois has been living the DO IT NOW lifestyle! In doing this a dream started to grow, a vision of DO IT NOW becoming much more... Ideas, concepts and possibilities kept developing and staying with him. In February 2009 Francois bought Mr Carrick’s shares and has since been the sole owner of the company. He realised soon that his goal was now, more than ever to make his dream into reality and so get it into the world of others. This journey finally led to the birth of the DO IT NOW MAGAZINE and a DO IT NOW Clothing Range, as well as the upgrading and facelift of the DO IT NOW Website!!!

OUR MISSION

DO IT NOW has taken an active market stance from 2009 and is to develop in years to come. It has now been growing rapidly in the last few months, spreading is wings to do much more that what is was initially created for.
