The outdoor clothing business loved by pop stars and the Royal Family, has released accounts for the year to end April 2025 in which its revenues rose 9% to £350.8m. Over the same period, operating profit grew from £39.5m a year previously to £49.5m.

Barbour - which employs more than 1,100 people - said that the year covered by the accounts had seen a “recovery” in sales, with a particularly strong performance in its ecommerce channels. Sales were strongest in the UK, making up almost half of the company’s revenues, but also rose in America, Europe and the rest of the world.
