Cotswold Fox the contemporary relaxed country clothing brand, is thrilled to announce the strategic investment with Journey by Behrens. The backing from Journey by Behrens will enable Cotswold Fox to expand the product range and continue to refine its identity as well as increase visibility and accessibility across the UK and key international markets.
Journey by Behrens is a specialist investment partner launched by the textile company Behrens Group – Manchester’s oldest textile business with over 190 years of wholesale and retail knowledge. The company invests in and partners with entrepreneur-led businesses, offering not only capital but also the expertise, resources, and tailored support needed to accelerate growth.
Henry Hughes – director at Journey by Behrens:
“After following Cotswold Fox over the past year and getting to know Jemima and her team, we’ve been inspired by her entrepreneurial journey and vision. The brand’s progress has been exciting to watch, and we’re delighted to be investing in Cotswold Fox to support them in the next stage of their growth.”
Cotswold Fox was founded by Jemima Gray in 2021 and first started as a university assignment while studying at the Royal Agricultural University in Cirencester. Jemima was competing internationally in equestrian eventing and was keen to start a fashion brand that kept quality high but with prices accessible for students.

“We are so excited to have Journey by Behrens on board, their expertise and support will help us to introduce our collection to a much wider audience and position ourselves as the country brand of choice for a new generation. Cotswold Fox is more than a clothing brand; it is a way of life that reflects a true passion for the countryside.”
Cotswold Fox is inspired by English country life, with collections influenced by the world of equestrian sport, the world-renowned Cotswolds and rural adventures. The collection is designed with comfort, style and quality in mind for those who want effortless style with a preppy edge for every occasion.
