There in the moments that matter
We take a long-term view when investing and positioning our brands, so they become category leaders. It’s not about being the biggest, but always aiming to be the best. We continually rejuvenate our brands to keep them relevant to changing consumer needs.
Berghaus
Berghaus recognises that we’re all outdoor people at heart. We love to get out, come rain, shine or more rain. But life today has a nasty habit of getting in the way, like when we find ourselves scrolling rather than walking. Berghaus joined the Pentland family in 1993 and, from its early days above a shop in the North-East of…

KangaROOS
The original shoes with pockets, KangaROOS was founded by American Bob Gamm in 1979, when he struggled to find the right place to store his keys when running. It quickly became a favourite of elite runners, and then became incorporated into street culture.

Kickers
Influencing style and culture since 1970, Kickers is one of the UK’s most iconic shoe brands.

Since then, our passion for innovation has led to more Olympic Gold Medals being won in Speedo than any other brand. Speedo joined the…
