SportsDirect are everywhere with lots of hidden presence in the high street and online:

"Ashley has made his money by buying brands. The first major brand he bought was Donnay. In February 2003 Ashley bought the Dunlop Slazenger brand for £40 million, followed up by acquiring outdoor gear manufacturer Karrimor in March 2003,[12] Kangol for £10 million,[13] boxing brand Lonsdale, most of these brands were bought from distressed sellers. After considering a takeover,[14] Ashley took a £9 million stake and signed a long-term deal with Umbro.[15]

Ashley has a 29.4% stake in Blacks Leisure Group, the owner of Millets and Mambo,[16] and is thought to hold stakes in JJB Sports and 19% of JD Sports."

So, a boycott of this little feck is not easy if you want to by sportswear - he has a finger in an awful lot of pies.
