Castore said all three of its existing banks, HSBC, BNP Paribas and Silicon Valley Bank, would participate in the newly increased revolving credit facility.
The company added that the facility would give it additional levels of liquidity to “further support the group's strategic growth ambitions”, and “lengthen the maturity of...committed debt facilities, enhancing Castore's financial flexibility”.
Castore describes itself as "the official technical kit partner of numerous top-tier teams and athletes, including Glasgow Rangers, McLaren Racing, Newcastle United, England Cricket, US Open Champion Matt Fitzpatrick and Andy Murray".
It noted that it sells into more than 90 countries globally.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.

We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.
