Trespass is an international sportswear brand owned by Jacobs & Turner Ltd., [1] specialising in skiwear, waterproof jackets, fleeces, festival accessories, walking boots and camping gear. The company sells outdoor clothing in the wholesale market, through retail shops in Ireland, the UK and mainland Europe, and through its website. [2]
Jacobs & Turner Ltd. was established in 1938 and, at the time, specialised in technical workwear. The Trespass brand was created in 1984, moving the company towards specialising in performance skiwear and outdoor clothing. [1]
Since its inception, the company has been located in Glasgow, Scotland, with its main head office and distribution centre still residing in the south side of the city.
After moving into the retail trade in the 1990s, Trespass expanded its business within Great Britain. It expanded into the Republic of Ireland in 2008, [3] mainland Europe in 2014, [4] and Northern Ireland in 2015. [5] Its 200th UK store was opened in 2018. [6]
The company has over 300 shops, in Ireland, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Poland, France, Germany and Austria, and has operations in 62 countries worldwide. [7] [8] It also sells via its website.
In February 2013, it was announced that Trespass were the official uniform providers for the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games. Trespass supplied the uniforms for the Queen's Baton Relay and the Games Workforce, estimated at 15,000 volunteers. [9] On 18 August 2013, the Trespass designed uniforms were unveiled, [10] alongside the relay baton. [11]
Trespass sponsors a number of sporting events and athletes. [12] These include:
The Commonwealth Games is a quadrennial international multi-sport event among athletes from the Commonwealth of Nations, which mostly consists of territories of the former British Empire. The event was first held in 1930 and, with the exception of 1942 and 1946, has successively run every four years since. The event was called the British Empire Games from 1930 to 1950, the British Empire and Commonwealth Games from 1954 to 1966, and British Commonwealth Games from 1970 to 1974. Athletes with a disability are included as full members of their national teams since 2002, making the Commonwealth Games the first fully inclusive international multi-sport event. In 2018, the Games became the first global multi-sport event to feature an equal number of men's and women's medal events, and four years later they became the first global multi-sport event to have more events for women than men.
The 2002 Commonwealth Games, officially known as the XVII Commonwealth Games and commonly known as Manchester 2002, was an international multi-sport event for the members of the Commonwealth held in Manchester, England, from 25 July to 4 August 2002. The event was to be hosted in the United Kingdom to coincide with the Golden Jubilee of Elizabeth II, head of the Commonwealth, and Manchester was selected for the 2002 Games ahead of London using a recycled part of the project, which lost the 2000 Summer Olympics and Paralympics to Sydney, Australia. The 2002 Commonwealth Games was, prior to the 2012 Summer Olympics, the largest multi-sport event ever to be held in the UK, eclipsing the London 1948 Summer Olympics in terms of teams and athletes participating. The 2002 Commonwealth Games had the largest number of events of any Commonwealth Games in history, featuring 281 events across 17 sports.

The Queen's Baton Relay is a relay around the world held prior to the beginning of the Commonwealth Games. The Baton carries a message from the Head of the Commonwealth, currently King Charles III. The Relay traditionally begins at Buckingham Palace in London as a part of the city's Commonwealth Day festivities. The King entrusts the baton to the first relay runner. At the Opening Ceremony of the Games, the final relay runner hands the torch back to the King or his representative, who reads the message aloud to officially open the Games.
