It has the reputation of serving gentlemen of refinement and good taste including old Etonians, princes, prime ministers, presidents, pop stars and sartorial men the world over. Anthony Spitz has led the company for many years and will remain as chairman of the operating company, supporting the new global expansion strategy. Mr. Spitz’s family interests will maintain a minority stake in the new holding company.
POP Capital is a US-based private equity firm specializing in luxury brands. POP Capital will become the new custodians of the New & Lingwood stable of brands, which includes Bowring Arundel, Poulsen Skone, and WV Brown, and will lead the company in an exciting new growth phase.
