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:
“His life itself passes deeper in nature than the studies of the naturalist penetrate; himself a subject for the naturalist. The latter raises the moss and bark gently with his knife in search of insects; the former lays open logs to their core with his axe, and moss and bark fly far and wide. He gets his living by barking trees. Such a man has some right to fish, and I love to see nature carried out in him.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“With a group of bankers I always had the feeling that success was measured by the extent one gave nothing away.”
—Francis Aungier, Pakenham, 7th Earl Longford (b. 1905)
