Wimbledon (almost) bids farewell to the legendary Andy Murray. Five years ago, Thomas and Philip, founders of Castore, launched their sportswear brand with funds from their parents' remortgaged house. Shortly after launch, they heard that Andy was looking for a new brand partner, one that shared his values— #betterneverstops —and one that respected his experience and ambition. The Castore x Andy Murray partnership has flourished, propelling the business to over £200 million in annual revenue. The alignment among Andy, Tom, and Phil is exceptional, marked by unmatched drive and ambition. Andy took a significant risk by backing a small business, and he deserves immense respect for his unwavering support while facing his own challenges. I'll miss his extraordinary passion and resilience on court, but there's no doubt he'll channel that same determination off the court. Big respect Andy and thanks for supporting these extraordinary founders to build a great British brand! #startups #brandswithpurpose #venturecapital
Incredible story, Tom! Andy's belief in Castore and their shared values is truly inspiring. It's a testament to the power of aligned vision and mutual trust. What characteristics do you look for in partnerships like this?
After watching the emotional send off last night - what a fabulous brand ambassador for so many grassroots initiatives
Brilliant partnership. Well done the 3 of you.
Love to Steve for putting his house on the line for his kids
Class acts all the way and not a dry eye for the on court interview on Thursday night! Well-done, amazing British milestones of which we are all proud.

Andy would love my innovations in frictionless wear great for whacking a ball ⛳️⚾️ 🎾 when it’s cold. He’d also like the layering tech that supports the back and stimulates the core. He clearly likes backing 🇬🇧innovation.
Fair play to Andy for backing them and supporting them and Thomas and Phillip for their hard work and graft in making it such a success.
