The N Brown Group is a clothing retail group targeting underserved customer demographics – in particular larger-sized or older men and women. Key brands include Simply Be for plus-size women, Jacamo for the male equivalent, JD Williams for 45 to 60-year-old women and Ambrose Wilson for women aged 60 and over. Retail Week provides news, analysis, features and opinion about N Brown and the fashion sector.
