From the administrators' statement
The Company was founded in 1982 as a footwear distribution company The principal business for 17 years was based on the sole distributorship of Ecco shoes, supplemented by other footwear brands, and Columbia Sportswear, a US outdoor clothing brand To support the growth of the Company's Ecco programme, 15 Ecco-branded shops were also opened
In 1999/2000, the Ecco and Columbia businesses had developed to a level where they wished to set up their own sales companies in the UK The Company set out to re-invent Its wholesale business by launching tts own international footwear brand, Murtosa, in
partnership with New Balance This was not successful and was closed in 2003
