Dr Martens’ creative director Darren Leon Mckoy is stepping down from the role he’s held since 2022 and away from the company he’s worked at since the mid-2010s.

In a substantial post on LinkedIn he issued “a heartfelt thank you” to the company “for an incredible decade”. 

He said he joined the business 10 years ago this week “at a time when it was ready to take bold risks. With an amazing set of passionate people—both long-standing and new—true brand ambassadors who shared an unwavering belief in its potential, we helped transform the business from a circa £136m company to a £1bn powerhouse”.
