About this company

Adidas (U.K.) Limited is the UK entity of the adidas group, registered in Stockport and active since its incorporation in 1972. Companies House records list its business activities as wholesale of textiles, wholesale of clothing and footwear, and retail sale of sports goods, fishing gear, camping goods, boats and bicycles. This indicates the entity handles the distribution and retail of adidas branded sportswear, footwear and equipment within the UK, as part of the wider adidas group's operations. The company's own website could not be accessed for further detail due to security restrictions, so this summary relies on the structured company record for its description of activities.
