New owners of Suspense, August 2026

New owners of Suspense, August 2026
Jess and Mikal (founders of Suspense) have become parents to two bundles of joy in the past 2 years and life has taken a different direction for them. So the brand is now in the hands of Ellie Gosling. Ellie has the same passion and drive for triathlon and sport in general as Jess and Mikal - and just last year Ellie & Jess raced head to head at Dorney Lake Events (picture below).....both wearing none other than Suspense laces.

Ellie is also a parent to three children who are also 16 months apart (same as Jess and Mikal's) - yes Ellie does have a set of twins born in 2015 and a slightly older son born in 2014!

Ellie is the owner of running and triathlon events business, Barnes Fitness Limited organising 15-20 events a year in the local area to Reading. Ellie also founded and is Head Coach at Reading Rascals Junior Triathlon Club and is part of the Brownlee Fitness Squad. Ellie has recently found a love for Hyrox and can be seen wearing Suspense socks whenever at an event!
