Millican, a Keswick, UK-based ethical outdoor lifestyle brand, secured a “six-figure” investment.
Backers included the North West Fund for Venture Capital, managed by Enterprise Ventures, and private investors.
The company will use the funding to develop several new product ranges and continue its expansion into new markets.
Founded in 2009 by Jorrit and Nicky Forbes-Jorritsma, Millican creates premium bags and accessories for outdoor living and travel. The company, which sells through a network of distributors in Northern Europe and Japan, in the past 12 months, has also launched a number of collaborations with brands including menswear label Universal Works and Fujifilm’s X-Series premium cameras.
Millican currently employs four people in Keswick.
