Consistent with our strategic objective to become a more consumer led organisation and to create
an effective business model that will set us up for sustainable profitable growth, we have
implemented strategic changes to our businesses in the UK and Ireland.
We are extremely pleased to announce we have entered into an exclusive distribution agreement
with Unify Brand Partnerships, effective from January 1st, 2021.
The UK market will remain a strategic priority for 2XU, and this partnership will allow us to build
on the foundations laid by the existing team and set us up for sustainable growth in the region.
Utilising Unify’s extensive market knowledge, network and resources will ensure 2XU stays locally
relevant, driving consumer engagement and support required to grow the brand in the region.
To continue to support all of our partners across EMEA, 2XU will maintain a local sales and marketing
presence under the leadership of Mike Martin, our EMEA sales and marketing director, to assist in
building the brand heat and demand.

fashion distribution agency, championing a diverse portfolio of leading global brands. Unify
Brand Partnerships’ fully integrated agency specialises in distribution, sales strategy, marketing,

Damian Cooper, MD at Unify Brand Partnerships said:
“We are thrilled to partner with 2XU in the UK and Ireland, as this partnership is an exciting
opportunity to work with the global leader in sports compression and provider of high-performance
apparel. 2XU has a proud history of partnering with the best athletes, athletic events,
sports teams, and sport’s governing bodies, which we are excited to lead in two regions who are
embracing sport and physical fitness like never before.
We feel the brand is a perfect addition to our current portfolio and look forward to continuing their exceptional work in the UK market.’’
This partnership is a seamless fit for 2XU and we look forward to working with Unify as we strive
for a new level of partnership, support and service. Unify and 2XU will work closely together
during the transition period for the upcoming H2-21 sell in season, while Unify will deliver the
H1-21 orderbook.
The teams will reach out to each of you in the coming days with further details.
