G. A. Dunn and Co

1887 Founded by George Arthur Dunn, a Quaker, who started by selling hats on the streets of Birmingham. Forty years later he had two hundred 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.

1966 In its final year of trading as an independent company, Dunn & Co. had 130 shops and 429 staff, with a head office in Swansea employing a further 75 workers.

The brand name was purchased by Ciro Citterio. However, they also went into administration in 2003
