Brief History of Austin Reed:
Austin Reed started his business in 1900, on Fenchurch Street, as a single shop in the City of London and over the years has transformed itself from a traditional business into a dynamic and progressive group, with over 70 outlets in the United Kingdom and with international licensees across the globe. Austin Reed started to build what was the beginning of Austin Reed today by opening branches in Regent Street .

The 1920s, saw an amazing decade of growth in London which was led by the 'centennial redevelopment' of Regent Street the location of Austin Reed flagship store. By the 1930s, Austin Reed had built a firm business that was becoming a national chain. Austin Reed became a household name because of its complete dedication to top notch service with its tagline, "It's just part of the Austin Reed service," which became a national catch phrase.

The 1940s, of course was marked by the Second World War during which time Austin Reed manufactured uniforms for both male and female soldiers. The company's most famous customer was Prime Minister Winston Churchill.

The 1950s, was the time when Austin Reed company was celebrating its golden jubilee. Austin Reed was retired as chairman however he was still very much involved. The company's main focus was to increase production, which was accomplished through modernising the business in term of stock control, production, and managing the business portfolio and investments. Focusing on building a modern business continued through the 60s and 70's and then eventually led to the expansion of women's range in the 1980s.
