Pujolar said: “I am delighted to welcome Will and Glen to the business. Their extensive experience across a range of companies and geographies will be invaluable as we continue to strengthen our position in the market. Together, they will help drive our growth strategy and enhance our product offerings, ensuring that Footasylum remains at the forefront of the fashion streetwear and sportswear industry.
“With this enhanced team in place, I am even more confident in our ability to realise our ambitious plans for Footasylum, especially as we build on our record FY24 performance and approach our peak trading period, where I am certain Will and Glen will make significant contributions.”
Van Rensburg added: “Footasylum is an incredible business with a unique proposition that is excelling in a thriving yet competitive market, and I am thrilled to join at such a pivotal time. The company has established trusted relationships with its brand partners, and I look forward to expanding and deepening these partnerships as we enhance our offerings across the UK and beyond, building on Footasylum’s impressive growth in recent years.”
