Peacocks is a Cardiff-based company, which employs more than 400 at
its HQ,
It now has more than 600 stores and concessions in the UK, and 117
stores around the world. The expansion into Russia and Eastern Europe
has been particularly successful.
It also bought the Yorkshire-based retailer Bon Marche 10 years ago.
