We asked the Oliver Brown team a series of questions to get to know them better. Discover more about our General Manager, Richard Fuller.
Meet Mr Richard Fuller. Richard has been heading the Oliver Brown Retail teams for the past 6 years, and is a true aficionado on men's tailoring and event dressing, with a long standing career dressing discerning gentlemen.
Richard has always been passionate about men's tailoring and has loved dressing up for as long as he can remember. “When I would be clubbing in my teens, my friend’s style was very much indie/gothic, whereas I would dress in a 3-piece mohair suit”.
Richard is just as passionate about his beloved hi-fi as he is about suits. “I used to work for Roksan and have a high-end system. I have quite an eclectic taste in music, I love vinyl, CD’s and I even have a collection of analogue tapes. I also love the theatre and have a passion for reading.”
