Founder Mark Neale, 51, leads this outdoor clothing chain, which has more than 300 stores across the UK, Europe, North America and New Zealand. Overseas sales hit £66.5m in 2018, boosted by new shops in Canada, Poland and Germany, and nine international websites shipping boots, jackets and ski gear to 100 countries. The firm is based in London and was valued at £310m in July, when private equity firm Inflexion invested £45m for a minority stake.
