Bell Pottinger North steps up to the plate

15.10.2009

Footasylum was set up by the co-founders of JD Sports John Wardle and David Makin in 2006 and now has 18 shops across the UK.   The new store on Bold Street opens this week and on Saturday is putting musicians from the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts (LIPA) in the shop window. 

Associate Director Richard Clein said:   "It's great when the big brands come knocking and the company was keen to set up a partnership with the city's young creatives. It made perfect sense to launch upcoming brands with upcoming bands.  

"In the last few months we have also been working with Waitrose , John Lewis, the Health and Safety Laboratory and Wienerberger, the world's largest brick manufacturer.
