The vendors have used their many many years of experience in this sector to establish a comprehensive hire business that caters for all the needs and tastes of todays morning wear market.

This business is somewhat unique in that it owns all the hire stock it offers. The vendor has been careful to invest in only the best quality suits, waistcoats, shirts, neckwear, scrunches etc. from leading Italian and UK designer/manufacturers. These pieces are maintained in pristine condition while the vendor has continued to reinvest in stock yearonyear to ensure it keeps up to date with the latest trends whilst still maintaining a popular classic range.

These include wedding suits, occasional suits, formal wear, tweeds, highland wear etc., not to mention around 1,800 waistcoasts (well over 100 different styles) and similar numbers of ties, cravats, scrunches and shirts. All stock is held on site and readily available for customers to view and try.
Customers receive all the help and service required with a personal fitting service from highly experienced, professional and attentive staff.

This company is successful due to staff ensuring customers are delighted with the service they receive. These tiny details lead to many personal recommendations and a constant stream of customers, many of whom are the next generation of past families who have previously used the services of this highly commendable business.

Market / Competition / Non-Competition Agreements
The business does very little marketing these days having built up a sterling reputation over the years. The majority of its revenues come via referrals and word of mouth recommendations. The business does have a basic website but would certainly benefit from a more proactive approach to sales and marketing. It is understood this would bring in further sales.
