About Montirex

Montirex is one of the UK's fastest-growing sportswear and lifestyle brands — and one of the most exciting homegrown success stories in British sport and fashion. Founded in 2019 by two best mates from Liverpool, Daniel Yuen and Kieran Riddell-Austin, the brand started with just three t-shirts designed from a kitchen in Kirkby. Today, it's a nationally and internationally recognised performance brand with a turnover of £76.7m and forecasted sales of £130m in the current financial year.

Built on the belief that sportswear could be innovative, fashionable, performance-focused and great value, Montirex quickly earned a loyal following among athletes, communities, and sport culture enthusiasts across the UK. The brand's iconic Trail collection, its growing roster of elite athlete ambassadors — including UFC star Leon Edwards — and its partnerships with major retailers like JD Sports and Footasylum have cemented its position as a serious challenger in the global sportswear market.

In 2024, Montirex opened its first physical store and made its US retail debut through JD Sports' flagship Times Square location. With European expansion on the horizon and ambitions to break into North America by 2030, this is a brand on a steep upward trajectory — and they're building the team to match.

Headquartered in Speke, Liverpool, Montirex remains proudly rooted in the city and community that built it.
