Our founder

Meet me, the founder, Alan C. 

I'll try to cut a long story short.

In the middle of a divorce, with a business that I'd built up over 10 years from 8 to 65 people that was quickly unravelling, I had a very near fatal stroke stroke April 16th 2018. The doctors told me I was lucky to wake up and just to lose my left arm and leg. "When I first saw you last night I thought you had a 5% chance of waking up this morning. So well done!" was the first thing the Doctor who examined me said whilst I lay in bed after waking up from a stroke coma.

I was in hospital for 7 weeks. Whilst still in hospital I agreed that the best thing for my children was that they move to Switzerland with their mum, leaving me to close my business down, attempt a physical recovery and do an MBA at Bath Uni to restart my professional life. Both my attempts failed.

My physical state suffered as a result of the COVID lockdown and no-one wants to employ a guy with my disabilities. In 2024, I decided to put into action an idea that had been at the back of my head for years. Create a British clothing brand that caters to people who watch football and enjoy luxury clothing. Shirts that look just as good at the ground, as they do in the pub on a night out.

I've lost just about everything I ever had. After too many darks days, it's a miracle I'm still here. So I'm hoping Paganus can put me back on a path to a life worth living again.
