The online running and fitness retailer has been ranked the 30th fastest growing mid-market private company in the UK by banking and asset management group Investec.
The Mid-Market 100 list is compiled by calculating a business’ annual percentage turnover growth over four years.
Based in Yorkshire, Sportsshoes.com, which was founded by pro footballer Bruce Bannister, had a turnover of £33.5 million in 2014. It currently employs around 100 people.
Bruce’s son Brett runs the business. He says: “We’ve always focused on getting the basics right and offering best-in-class products to help our customers live a positive and healthier life.
“There are still opportunities to grow within our market – the number of people getting into running and fitness is growing and they need the right gear. That’s our market – people who are active.”
