Introduction

Stylo boasts a formidable portfolio of businesses, and its expansion and growth is reflective of nearly a century of experience and sound business acumen. This has made Stylo plc the leading shoe retailer it is today.

A family run business consolidated from three separate companies in 1935, the business was floated on the Stock Market over 70 years ago under the name of 'Stylo Boot Company (Northern) Limited'

Over the years there have been many changes, exciting developments and mergers but Stylo has always retained its positioning at the forefront of British shoe retailing.

The business developed rapidly and by 1964, with 150 stores nationwide, the company put in a bid to buy W Barratt and Company. After seeing off fierce competition the bid was accepted and today there are over 180 Barratts stores, 200 Dorothy Perkins branded concessions and over 200 discount footwear outlets under the PriceLess fascia.
