He’s the current man in charge of the company that’s been responsible for dressing up the Irish among others for generations. And that company is not even Irish. It’s a Jewish no-frills factory outlet that operates selling quality suits, shirts and shoes from a big red building in London’s Golders Green.
Gold’s Factory Outlet – includes among its customers everyone from humble, every day labourers to multi-millionaires who park their Bentleys outside its famous premises on Golders Green Road.
The business has its roots in Petticoat Lane, the original home of the “rag trade” via 1960s Carnaby Street, and two brothers, Warren and David Gold, who worked together for 50 years. Warren died of a heart attack almost two years aged 77 and the north London business which has been running for almost 25 years passed to the control of the aforementioned Jamie, his son.
In the build up to events like the Cheltenham Race Festival or St Patrick’s Day or at Christmas, it was not unknown for Irish bigwigs in the construction industry such as the late John Murphy to park up outside and buy half a dozen suits at a time off the rails inside at Gold’s.
The firm operates a tried and tested business model and gets its ample stock from exactly the same suppliers that make suits for the more well known names on the High Street and West End shopping centres. It prides itself in never knowingly allowing customer to leave its store not looking good in something they have bought. As Jamie says, it’s not good for business.
The store boasts seven fittings for every size, up to 72 inch chest.
So go get yourself a bargain at Gold’s at their Big Red Building on Golders Green Road.
