ACTIVIST fund manager Sparta Capital has allegedly bought stock worth "tens of millions of pounds" in London-listed footwear brand Dr Martens, according to reports by Sky News. It is said that Sparta is also engaging in talks with the board to help the brand as it struggles. The cult bootmaker's value has dropped significantly following its initial public offering two-and-a-half years ago.
