Who Owns Sandbanks Clothing?

Sandbanks is owned by its three founders. The Dorset menswear brand was launched in 2019 by Wayne Collins, Sam Harman and the former footballer Jamie Redknapp, and remains private and independent — no group, no fund, no listing. It is run from Poole and named after the peninsula. Companies House cannot be searched for it by brand name, which is itself the most useful thing to know. Ownership verified 6 September 2026.

Who owns Sandbanks Clothing today?

Three people. Sam Harman is creative director, Wayne Collins managing director, and Jamie Redknapp the co-founder whose name attaches to the brand publicly. Harman and Collins are both local to the Dorset area; the business operates from Tower Park in Poole.

The brand is privately held and independent. It has not been acquired, has no parent company and has taken no outside investment that has been made public.

Redknapp’s involvement is genuine co-founding ownership rather than an endorsement deal — which distinguishes it from the arrangement this site sets out on its Cîroc profile, where Sean Combs had a profit share and no stake at all. Being the face of a brand and owning it are different things, and here they coincide.

Ultimate parent and corporate structure

There is no parent and no group. Sandbanks sits on its own.

Finding its company on the register is the practical difficulty, and it is worth explaining rather than glossing over. Searching Companies House for “Sandbanks” returns thousands of matches — overwhelmingly property, hospitality and lettings businesses named after the Poole peninsula, which is one of the most expensive stretches of residential land in the country. Golden Gates (Sandbanks) Limited, Harbour Heights (Sandbanks) Limited, Dune Crest (Sandbanks) Limited and dozens more are estate and hotel companies with no connection to the clothing brand.

Adding “clothing” narrows nothing, because the operating company does not appear to trade under a name containing the brand.

That is a common and deliberate arrangement, not an evasion. This site has found the same at OnlyFans (Fenix International Limited), The Range (CDS Superstores International), bet365 (the Hillside companies) and Toolstation (a 1956 holding company). A consumer brand and its company frequently share no name at all.

Major shareholders or controlling persons

The three founders hold the business between them. The split between them has not been publicly disclosed, and this page does not estimate it.

Sandbanks is small enough that its ownership would be reported on the PSC register in the ordinary way once the correct company is identified — a private company of this size has no exemption, so anyone holding more than 25% must be named. That is the strength of the UK regime and the reason this page’s limitation is a search problem rather than a disclosure one: the information exists; it is finding the right company number that is hard.

No institutional investor, retail group or fashion house has been reported as holding a stake.

Official records and evidence

This page is unusually candid about what it does not establish. I could not identify the operating company by name search on Companies House, and rather than attach the brand to a company number I cannot verify, this page names none.

Everything above — the 2019 launch, the three founders and their roles, the Poole base — comes from the brand’s own statements, from trade and regional press coverage, and from retailers’ brand guides. It is well-sourced reporting, not a filed disclosure.

For a reader who wants the register position, the reliable route is not a name search but the officer search: Companies House lets you search by a person’s name and see every company they are a director of. Looking up the founders directly will surface the operating company where a brand-name search will not.

Trademark ownership is a separate register again — the Intellectual Property Office records who owns the Sandbanks mark for clothing, and that is the authoritative source on the brand itself as distinct from the company. Companies House does not verify most filed information.

Ownership history and changes

Sandbanks has not changed hands. It was founded in 2019 and has been owned by the same people since.

• 2019 — the brand launches, named after the Dorset peninsula, positioned around outerwear and jackets.
• 2020s — distribution expands through independent menswear retailers across Britain, and the brand builds its identity around recycled and ocean-plastic materials.

The sustainability positioning is a product claim rather than an ownership fact, and this page treats it as such: the brand states that its garments use recycled and reclaimed materials, and that is the company’s own account.

Seven years with the founding owners intact is unremarkable for a business of this age — but it places Sandbanks with JCB, bet365, Matchroom and Alo in the category this site keeps returning to: privately held, founder-controlled, and answerable to nobody but its owners.

Related companies and brands

Sandbanks owns no other brands and is part of no group.

It is not connected to Sandbanks the place in any proprietary sense — the peninsula’s name is used by a great many unrelated businesses, and none of them owns it. Place names cannot be monopolised, which is exactly why the register is so crowded with them.

Nor is it connected to Hugo Boss, Barbour, Superdry or the other menswear brands it sits alongside in independent retailers — all separately owned, and several part of listed groups. Sandbanks is among the smaller genuinely independent brands covered on this site.
