Owain Griffiths and Dominic Shaw

Head & Griffiths

Owain and Dominic met at university when Owain asked Dominic to do some brand identity work on his idea for an online tailoring company. Owain conceived the business following a trip to India and the purchase of a tailored suit. Since meeting Dominic, the two have worked together to get the business launched..

The two are hoping that the combination of young British talent and online distribution will mean that they can build their business by offering suits that have a look that is individual at a price that is affordable.

Their website is now live but will they be able to penetrate the market and compete in the notoriously competitive fashion industry? Follow Owain and Dominic in Fishbowl 3 over the coming weeks and months to find out.

Reasons to be Cheerful - Part 1

A quick update regarding what has been happening at Head & Griffiths HQ. This week has been focused around (once again) refining the website in terms of uploading content and making it generally more accessible for potential customers. Somebody told me the other week that a website is always going to be work in progress, which makes reasonable sense – but this is a horrible thought for me and Owain at the moment though!

Morale is high once again. As soon as we hit February, we started to make sales again. This is particularly positive for us as generally January and February can be bad months for retailers.

Both myself and Owain are now trying to find a good middle ground in terms of where we are based from July 2010. We need a space which can work both as an office as well as a place for clients to visit.

This is certainly something although quite far in the pipeline, we need to discuss sooner rather than later.
