Meechs Menswear is a long-established family businesses & that continues to
expand & improve, make no mistake, this is truly a family business. Over 77
years in business is a very long time indeed. Yet at no time have Meech's fallen
behind the times with fashion. Contributing to our success has been a policy
of fair pricing.
Heading the business is Mr David Meech, managing director and son of the founder, the late Mr J.H Meech. Meechs Menswear is held in high esteem by customers and suppliers alike. Such support is rare these days - but for a firm such as Meechs it is almost automatic. Mr. J.H. Meech opened our Weymouth Shop in 1928. This traded throughout the Second World War ran by his wife Ruth. In 1956 his son David joined the business after spending 2 years learning the trade at Dosson Brothers in Bridgewater.  
In 1958 the business became a Private Limited Company. In 1972 the Weymouth shop was enlarged by expanding to next door. A branch was opened in Yeovil in 1971 and is managed by Michael Purchase nephew of David Meech. David's son Kevin joined the business in 1980 and his younger son Andrew in 1997 who opened the Meechs Menswear website in 2000. Our website since 2000 has really grown and improved, to the point that we had to move our website team, and dispatch to new offices in the summer of 2006. Since then we have been working flat out on the new look Meechs Menswear website which you are using now. Our new site really makes a lot of improvements over our last website, including a fresh new look with a much improved easier to use layout. For all our hard work have won some awards including: E-Commerce Award awarded in Sept 2002, 2003 & 2005.
