This will include the design, manufacture and supply of outfits to 15,000 volunteers as well as those accompanying the Queen’s baton relay as it moves through the Commonwealth on its journey to the Games.
Glasgow 2014 chief executive David Grevemberg said: “We were hugely impressed not just with the quality of the designs that Trespass presented us with but with their passion and enthusiasm to be part of our journey.”
The company originated in 1938 in Glasgow as Jacobs and Turner and was acquired by the Khushi family in the 1960s. Today it is managed by brothers Afzal and Akmal Khushi, who established the Trespass brand in 1984. It now has 140 stores and is set to open another 40 in the next 12 months.
Afzal Khushi said: “The ethos at the heart of our brand is access for all - we aim to provide top performance clothing that is affordable for everyone. In that spirit we have designed a range of sportswear, for activities including running, cycling and swimming, to encourage people to lead a more active lifestyle.”
