Clubsport, John Henry Sports and John Moore Sports have joined Intersport.
All large and well-established businesses, together they have a combined trading history of over 140 years.
Says Phil Millbank, a director at John Henry Sports: “We were drawn to Intersport having visited and thoroughly enjoyed two of their trade shows. It was the warm, friendly but professional and businesslike atmosphere that was so evident at the show that confirmed our decision to join.”
Rob Moore, the fourth generation of his family to operate the Bath-based John Moore Sports group, says: “We are delighted to become part of the growing Intersport community of retailers. We feel joining such a well established buying group will not only strengthen our business, but also enable us to network within our sector and support our business as we move into brighter economic times.”
Barry Mellis, Intersport’s general manager, says: “Our planned strategy for growth, even during these trying economic times, can be readily seen in the recruitment of new, forward thinking members like John Henry Sports, John Moore Sports and Clubsport, who all share our core values of enterprise and integrity.
“We retain our appetite for controlled expansion and an ambition to continue building a strong and sustainable community of retailers.”
