The owner of plus size fashion retailer Yours Clothing has acquired the online business and IP of Long Tall Sally, the specialist clothing brand for tall women. Andrew Killingsworth, through his AK Retail vehicle, has acquired the 44-year-old brand which caters for women over 5ft 8in, securing its future.

“We will continue to trade LTS as an online proposition and at this moment in time do not anticipate any retail stores, but that could change as we start developing the brand from September.

“The acquisition will also create up to 30 additional jobs and opportunities at our Peterborough HQ across all functions as we look for talented people to help us develop the brand further,” he said.
