Prior to A Suit That Fits.com, Warren graduated from Cambridge. He then studied at the CDI MBA course in Paris, and developed a passion for business, starting a small importation business with suppliers originating in India and Nepal.
David graduated from Imperial College London and joined his brother in starting up APS, a recruitment company. After this, David left to pursue his interest in systems and software. He then met up with Warren and together realised they could reinvent the way that people think about ordering a suit.
In 2006, David and Warren founded A Suit That Fits.com offering the largest range of quality suits in the UK. Using unique web technology, the service gives customers the flexibility to design and completely customise their individually hand-tailored suit at an affordable ‘off-the-peg’ price, starting at £110. While suits are traditionally sold as packages, A Suit That Fits.com are the first tailoring firm to offer complete transparency on suit pricing, offering a basic model that can be built up and completely customised.
Warren and David started with no tailoring experience - simply a passion for suits, and a confidence that they could use their engineering and software backgrounds to simplify and improve tailoring for the internet. They trialed the idea at Hampstead market, selling their first suit within twenty minutes of opening, and quickly realised it was a viable business idea. They have been self-funded since the start and now, two years later, have a team of sixteen, £1.4m turnover, and are thrilled to have recently been awarded the Small to Medium-sized Business of the Year, South-East, at the National Business Awards.
