Chimney Formal Menswear celebrates five years of helping grooms find wedding attire

Inside Chimney Formal Menswear in Royston

Situated in the beautiful town of Royston, Chimney Formal Menswear has bounced back from the impact of Covid-19 and is now celebrating its five-year anniversary. The company has endured a difficult time throughout the pandemic like most retailers, but the team is now looking forward while focusing on their next chapter of what has been a major success story since its launch in 2016.

The shop was built beside the original 13.5 metre-high chimney that once provided the draught for the local ironworks’ furnace and has been a labour of love for owner Sharon Cousans. She says, “Given everything that we’ve been through over the past 18 months, to reach the five-year mark is extremely satisfying. There were points during lockdown where it looked a long way off – particularly with the wedding industry being so badly hit – but we stuck it out and are now seeing things really starting to pick up again.” She adds, “We’re fortunate to have a tremendously loyal customer base who value the things that matter most to us – high-quality menswear at affordable prices, coupled with exceptional service.”

RSVPing 'YES' to multiple weddings? Here's how to budget!

Attending weddings can be a joyous occasion, but it can also be expensive, particularly if you're invited to more than one over the course of the year. Costs such as new outfits, travel and accommodation, and gifts mean the overall expense of attending can quickly add up. Duncan Fortune, Head of Commercial at Tesco Bank, says: "Wedding season can be a significant expense for households. Planning ahead and setting a dedicated budget for celebrations can help spread the cost over several months, allowing people to make the most of the celebrations while keeping their finances on track."
