AMC is a premium tennis sportswear brand that fuses the respective ethos' of Andy Murray & Castore sportswear. AMC was created to deliver a new standard in tennis performance clothing on and off court.
Tennis star Andy Murray has been a shareholder in the company since 2019. At the time of his investment, he described Castore as “a young, exciting brand that offers something different, with products that are really well cut and designed”. “For me, it was a natural progression from previous kit partners,” he added.
Tennis Scotland has signed a three-year partnership with Andy Murray's AMC clothing brand. AMC, the brand created by Andy Murray and Castore, will become Tennis Scotland's Official Apparel Partner, including the GB National Tennis Academy at the University of Stirling.
It stands for 'Andy Murray Castore'.

Henman's currently stands at £16 million as per The Richest.
The Manchester-based business was founded by brothers Phil and Tom Beahon and counts the likes of Andy Murray and the billionaire Issa brothers, who own Asda, among its shareholders.
When Liverpudlian brothers Phil and Tom Beahon founded the Castore clothing range in 2015, their first high-profile hire proved to be a moment of inspiration.
Castore was reported to have been valued at £750m after its most recent debt financing, which took place last autumn. That deal saw it extend its borrowing facilities to encompass lenders including HSBC and Silicon Valley Bank.
Six years ago, brothers Tom and Phil Beahon, each applied to Virgin StartUp for a £20,000 Start Up Loan to launch a new, premium sportswear brand – Castore. That business is now valued at £750 million.
J. Carter Sporting Club Limited (operating as Castore) is a British manufacturer of sportswear and athletic clothing, headquartered in Manchester, England.
It emerged Murray had been suffering from food poisoning and that he did not practise on Wednesday. Feliciano López, the tournament director and Murray's former doubles partner, said: “I had a message yesterday from Andy that he was not feeling well.
The prize money that Andy wins over the course of a year are only part of the Scot's earnings though. His sponsorship deals are where he can really top up his bank account and his off court earning potential has soared this year.
Andy Murray has withdrawn from this year's French Open to prioritise the grass-court season in the build-up to Wimbledon.
After studying the market, they settled on premium sportswear as their business of choice and in 2016, they had pooled together £50,000 of money they'd saved, along with a further £25,000 loan from their parents re-mortgaging their house, to source product, build a website and get Castore off the ground.
Castore — pronounced “Cah-store”, with no extra syllable for the “e” — is a self-anointed “challenger brand”; a “genuine disruptor brand”, as Beahon puts it.
Despite cost price inflation, supply chain disruption and lower consumer spending power, Tom Beahon says Castore “doubled the size of the business again” in the year ending January 2023, having reported revenue of £48.8m and pre-tax profit of £8m in its 2021-22 accounts.
After that, they turned their focus to football after private investors put £7.5million into them and their first deal was with Rangers in May 2020. That partnership is reportedly worth £25m over five years and it's had a mixed reception throughout their time so far.
Castore currently boasts a range of well regarded investors, including the billionaire Issa Brothers, the founders of Pure Gym and retailer New Look.
Castore, which is backed by Andy Murray among others, added that the facility has been put in place "following continued strong trading for the business and strong forecast growth in 2023".
With a net worth of $6.7 billion, Jessica Pegula is the richest tennis player in the world in 2023. The 28-year-old from Buffalo, New York, is worth more than Roger Federer, Serena Williams, Novak Djokovic, and Rafael Nadal combined.
Federer has won $130 million in prize money in his career, but the total is dwarfed by his off-court earnings from appearances and endorsements. The tennis legend's biggest payday yet may come from his stake in Swiss athletic apparel company On, which went public in September 2021.
