Dunn & Co.
Dunn & Co. was a well known British chain of menswear retailers.
==History==
Dunn & Co. was founded in 1887 by George Arthur Dunn, a Quaker, who started by selling hats on the streets of Birmingham. Forty years later he had 200 hat shops and as many franchises in other stores. These gradually developed into a string of high street stores specialising in formal wear, especially suits, blazers, tweed sports jackets and flannels.
The company was a stalwart of the British high street, but, found it increasingly difficult to remain relevant in the fast changing retail environment of the eighties : as new and innovative retailers opened up - with Next for men being a prime example, it struggled to adapt. The company engaged the services of Management Consultants Price Waterhouse Coopers in a bid to revitalise and refocus, but the programme they initiated failed to make the significant changes necessary to ensure long-term survival.
The group trading started showing serious problems in 1991, with nearly 40 shops being sold to Hodges, a private Welsh group which kept the Dunn & Co. name going. In 1994 a majority stake was sold to venture capitalists CinVen, who appointed Anthony Phillips and Jim Bellingham to run the chain.
