Its parent group, the Jacobson Group, has acquired Dudeskin and Babeskin from Skipton Leisure for an undisclosed sum.

Andrew Rhodes, previously a director at Skipton Leisure, is to join Gola as commercial manager. His task will be to develop three distinctive Gola clothing collections: essential sporting pieces for boys and men; performance and lifestyle attire for women under the Gola Active brand; and a stylised Gola Classics range.
