And it cited the aforementioned kit deals as one of the key drivers for this increased revenue prediction. As well as a number of recent deals in the UK, it has also linked with new teams in Europe such as Feyenoord Rotterdam FC, Athletic Club Bilbao, Football Association of Ireland, FC Twente, and FC Utrecht “with more being announced soon”.

But there are other factors feeding into its impressive growth, including, new localised e-commerce platforms, and the growth of its physical retail portfolio, with Castore adding a minimum of three stores across key European cities including Amsterdam. 

Meanwhile, impressive organic growth for its mainline brand is continuing with a “wider net of wholesale partners”. The company is now available in more “key accounts” including Fanatics, VerySports DirectFlannelsJDHarrodsJohn Lewis

And recent brand collaborations with key sports personalities such as boxer Joe Joyce, Malaysian professional golfer Gavin Green and extended partnerships with three-times grand slam winner Andy Murray are also having an impact.

Co-founder Tom Beahon has been saying for some time that he wanted his brand to become “the number one premium sportswear brand in the world,” and while that might have seemed overambitious a few years ago, the headlines the company has been grabbing in the last year suggest that it’s possibly an achievable aim.  

Of course, the business remains far smaller than the global giants, such as NikeAdidas

Beahon said Monday that “right now, we’re focusing our efforts on boosting consumer awareness — developing close partnerships with sports teams and performance athletes and, driving organic growth of our mainline brands both digitally and within engaging new in-store environments.

“This is a really exciting time for us.  We’ve the backing, liquidity, confidence and more importantly, the best performance sportswear kit that makes the most of advanced engineering and unique technical fabrics, to realise our strategic goals.”
