Bench and its sister brand, Hooch, are reportedly for sale again. Their owner, Americana, has mandated an investment company, Canaccord Genuity, to carry out a strategic review, according to the Sunday Times. Run by Peter McGuigan, the former top executive of Reebok and former shareholder of Umbro International, Americana was reportedly for sale already in 2011, with an asking price of 250 million pounds (€295.5m-$378.5m) in spite of an annual turnover of only £100 million (€118.2m-$151.4m).
