Brief History

The story of Yours began 20 years ago in East Anglia, when Andrew Killingsworth, the founder, was at a market stall. He was buying and selling large volumes of ladies clothing, when he had one parcel that contained exclusively plus-size garments. Those were the biggest sellers and it was then that he realised there was an untapped market for plus-sized clothing at affordable prices.

The company slowly and steadily grew from 1994 up to the present day, opening a total of more than 140 outlets throughout the country, along with many more in 90 countries throughout the world. Including 12 in the Middle East alone. The business is run from its Peterborough-based head office. The headquarters are home to a 90,000-ft warehouse, a photography studio, customer services department and other essential head office departments.
