Di Marco was most recently chairman of Golden Goose, and stepped down last year after the company was sold to Permira.
It is understood that di Marco’s background, which straddles high-end luxury and streetwear, and his strong ties to both worlds, will help Ashworth and his cofounder and co-CEO John Parker as they scale the business.Group acquired a majority holding in End earlier this year for an undisclosed amount, and Ashworth and Parker have retained a significant minority stake. A previous investor in the business was Index Ventures, which held a minority stake.
“We are attracted to End’s distinctive style, which mixes luxury and contemporary brands, with the best in sneakers and sportswear,” said, managing director of consumer and retail for the Carlyle Europe Partners advisory team, regarding the investment. Since 2005, the Newcastle-based End has expanded into a global multibrand retailer with a strong e-commerce business. It opened a flagship store on London Soho’s Broadwick Street in 2018.
In addition to clothing, footwear and accessories, the retailer has branched into home fragrance, homeware and gift items.
