about us

We're niche.

Entrepreneurial heart & smart thinking is in our DNA. At Naughton & Bird, we work with people who share the same like-minded vision about e-commerce. Our story started in retail back in 1952, but we exist today to help and support brands who seek great advice & strategy for selling online. Plus, we reckon we're pretty good within our niche!

Generations of retailing.

Everyone has a story to tell. Ours starts with a family shop in the middle of Leeds, West Yorkshire, in the previous century. Throw in some tales of celebrity PR stunts & latterly discovering long-lost footage from the 1950s, and Naughton & Bird has quite a legacy (well, to the Naughton family, that is). Today a third-generation grandson revives the brand in a slightly different form, but still following a family passion for retail.
