Today, 18 years on, the business has grown to achieve a turnover in excess of £50 million a year, with over 600 employees across the UK and many more employed worldwide by its suppliers. Cotton Traders Mail Order business, now has over 1,600,000 customers on its database, and produces 27 different editions of the catalogue each year, resulting in the dispatch of over 100,000 parcels a month.
The range too has expanded somewhat from those original rugby shirts. It now covers quality leisurewear and casual clothes for both men and women, plus footwear, household textiles, accessories and more - all created to the same high quality and unbeatable value as those first few shirts.
As for Fran and Steve, they still play a prominent role in the day to day operations of the company, with Fran handling the mail order operation and Steve covering the wholesale division. But they haven’t lost touch with their rugby roots - with Fran now the Chairman of Club England and Steve appearing regularly as a commentator on TV, radio and in the press.

Choice
As well as the convenience of door to door delivery, Cotton Traders also has shops across the UK, where you’ll find a wide range of styles and sizes at fantastic value-for-money prices. Not everything from our catalogue is available in all our stores, that said, some lines are exclusive to the stores, so it’s well worth the trip. If you want to check if a particular item is in stock at your local store, our friendly staff will be happy to help, so please do call in advance before you make a special trip.
Value
A visit to one of our shops is a must if you want to pick up great Cotton Traders quality and style at bargain prices. Catalogue clearance stock goes directly to the outlet stores and reductions can be as much as 70% off the original price.
