“In 2006 we will work on a clear positioning of Brantano in the British market. As a result I personally will take control as managing director in the United Kingdom for some months. There are 2 openings planned in Belgium. We are pursuing an annual turnover of EUR 314 million for 2006,” he added.
The Belgium-based footwear firm Brantano footwear is the most dynamic shoe retailer in Europe.
Currently, the Brantano Group sells shoes under the Brantano name in Belgium, Luxembourg, and the United Kingdom. The franchise stores opened in Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Qatar also now bear the Brantano name.
