With its beginnings as a partnership between George and Abraham Rose in the year 1900, the Great Universal Catalogue began as a mail order system in Manchester. By the 1930’s it had become one of the UKís leading mail order businesses. In 1930 they changed their name to the Great Universal Stores Limited and the following year became listed on the London Stock exchange.
In 1937 the Great Universal Catalogue acquired Kays, which help to increase the business. They also began publishing the Marshall Ward Catalogue as well as introduced a catalogue named John England. The Kays catalogue remained separate and altogether the company now had four. During the 1970’s John Noble, Choice and Family album was also acquired.
