Moss Bros Group PLC is a public limited company set up in 1851 by Moses Moss in Covent Garden, London, UK. One of the UK's top menswear stores, specialising in dress wear for formal occasions, Moss Bros has over 150 stores throughout the United Kingdom. It is listed on the London Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the FTSE Fledgling Index.
Until 2011, the company was divided into two trading divisions. The Mainstream Division (116 stores) included Moss, Moss Bros Hire, Moss Bros, Savoy Taylors Guild and factory outlet stores. The Fashion Division (35 stores) included Cecil Gee, Hugo Boss, Canali and Beale & Inman. In Autumn 2005, Moss Direct, a mail order and internet shopping division, was launched. With the closure of the Beale & Inman store in 2006, the disposal of the Canali and Hugo Boss franchise businesses and the sale of the majority of the Cecil Gee stores in 2011, the company now operates one division which incorporates the Moss, Moss Bros Hire, Moss Bespoke, Moss Bros, Suit Company and Savoy Taylors Guild brands.
Famous quotes containing the words moss and/or group:
“I saw in Louisiana a live-oak growing,
All alone stood it and the moss hung down from the branches,
Without any companion it grew there uttering joyous leaves of dark
green,
And its look, rude, unbending, lusty, made me think of myself,
But I wonder’d how it could utter joyous leaves standing alone
there without its friend near, for I knew I could not,”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“It’s important to remember that feminism is no longer a group of organizations or leaders. It’s the expectations that parents have for their daughters, and their sons, too. It’s the way we talk about and treat one another. It’s who makes the money and who makes the compromises and who makes the dinner. It’s a state of mind. It’s the way we live now.”
—Anna Quindlen (20th century)
