Sloppy journalism.

The fact he sold Belstaff to Castore, taking shares in Castore as payment, does not show they are exiting that market.

Castore completes the acquisition of Belstaff.

Premium brands Castore and Belstaff come together to drive further international growth. Castore acquires 100% of Belstaff, on a debt-free, cash-free basis. INEOS, the parent company of Belstaff, will make a significant strategic investment in Castore
