The Company and Our Investment
In November 2005, Octopus invested £1.6m of development capital in The Kendal Group (TKG), a branded consumer goods company which owns the Zoggs brand of swimwear, swim equipment and active wear.
The company designs product, has it manufactured in Europe and the Far East and sells to retail outlets, on-line, leisure centres and through distribution agreements overseas. The Company has offices in the UK and Australia. In the UK, sales are made through leisure centres and retail outlets, with distribution agreements set up with Tesco, Early Learning Centre, Toys R Us and Others.
"We have been impressed with everyone we have met at Octopus. They have all a high level of experience and grasped the dynamics of our business very quickly!"
Daniel Gestetner, Brands Etc
