N Brown Group plc
 PROFILE
For those who would rather drop than shop, N Brown Group offers an alternative -- mail-order shopping. The group markets clothing and household and electrical goods from more than 15 catalogs, including JD Williams, Shoe Tailor, and Fifty Plus. Most of N Brown's catalogs are directed toward middle-aged and older men and women. However, as its core market matures, N Brown is targeting younger 30+ consumers with its Simply Be and Fashion World catalogs. Among its offerings are specialty clothing catalogs for persons who require special sizes. Chairman Sir David Alliance, who is the former chairman of textile firm Coats Viyella, and his family own about 48% of the company.
