Bringing quality, affordable and aspirational products to China

Since its founding in 1932 as a family owned shoe wholesaler and manufacturer in Liverpool, the Pentland Group has grown and diversified to be a leader in sports, outdoor and fashion brands. Throughout, a sense of adventure has allowed Pentland to continuously venture into new areas, as it was one of the first European companies, in the 1960s, to source footwear from Asia.

Today, Pentland owns Speedo, Berghaus, Canterbury, Boxfresh, Ellesse, KangaROOS and Mitre. Furthermore, it is the global licensee for Lacoste Chaussures and Ted Baker footwear.

In 2014, this third-generation, family owned business has won two major European awards: Top European Family Business of the Year and Top 20 European Best Workplaces.
