In 1982, Mike Ashley, the founder, decided to open his first shop, selling sporting and skiing goods. This was in Maidenhead, UK. Years later, in the 90s, stores have been opened to the public across the UK, with a huge rebrand - Sports Soccer. Sports Direct became the new branding by 2008, firmly settling on the high street as a big retailer selling all things sport. Over 10 years later, in 2019, another rebrand took place, Frasers Group plc, which introduced the company’s three main pillars: sport, premium and luxury. Over the years, Frasers Group has grown into a huge company, working with dynamic brands and elevating the customer experience. Sports Direct, House of Frasers, Flannels, USC and many more big brands have become part of Frasers Group, growing with the company and becoming something worth knowing about. Now led by Chief Executive, Michael Murray, the company continues to evolve and is recognized and applauded around the world.

Informed by the last two hundred years, and inspired by the next – at Clarks, they do things differently.
