Graham Rubin, the Managing Director, developed the mail order business some 25 years ago after many years experience in the manufacture of trousers, which were supplied to the large Mail Order Catalogue businesses at the time. Starting by selling men’s trousers direct to the public by ‘off the page’ direct response advertisements in National Newspapers and Magazines, he eventually also sold through a catalogue of his own using the ever- increasing database of customers he recruited. Well over 1 million customers have now enjoyed buying direct from Chums since those early days, many of whom will have started by firstly trying our fantastic value for money Crimplene trousers (which are still one of our best sellers) or summer Cotton trousers or Farah branded trousers.
