Castore has appointed former Fanatics International general manager Danny Downs its new chief commercial officer. Downs previously spent 15 years in commercial development at Fanatics International. He is tasked with managing the brand’s overall channel performance in retail, wholesale and ecommerce for both partnerships as well as its mainline divisions.
Co-founder and co-chief executive Tom Beahon said: “We’re delighted to welcome Danny to the team at Castore and are excited for him to lead our commercial operations as we continue our development as the UK’s fastest-growing retailer. “Danny will play a crucial role in how Castore develops. We’re excited to have him here as a high-performing executive aligned with our pursuit to improve relentlessly,” Mr Beahon concluded.
Downs added: “I’m very excited to be joining Castore as we continue to challenge the big players of the industry and am looking forward to supporting its growth trajectory.
“With record-breaking product launches in the last year and new partnerships to come, I look forward to driving the progression of the business development and team partnerships functions at Castore.”
Castore has a lot going on. In July, they hired former JD Sports Executive Peter Alecock to serve in their newly created position of commercial director.
