The co-founder of sportwear brand Castore has gone into greater detail about why the fast-growing company decided to relocate from Liverpool to Manchester last year.
Tom Beahon said it wasn't a snub towards the city but that Manchester "offered a broader talent pool" that would help its growth ambitions.
In a wide-ranging interview with the Liverpool Echo, Mr Beahon also said Matt Fitzpatrick's US Open win will help "supercharge" Castore's expansion across the Atlantic and revealed how England's new golf superstar can help the brand crack America.
