SportPursuit scours the globe to bring their members the best deals on top sport and outdoor brands at members-only prices. They aim to give the best value to customers and encourage more people to get out and take up outdoor activities.
In December 2014, Grafton Capital corner stoned a growth financing round of SportPursuit with the round completing in October 2015. The investment helped to enable the business to accelerate growth and take a greater share of the sportswear and equipment market, both in the UK and across Europe.
In June 2021, bd-capital made a significant investment in SportPursuit, delivering Grafton Capital a successful exit on its investment.
