It is more than 65 years since Ron Brown left a background of business in the fruit and grocery trade and joined Bill McKnight, a men's outfitter to form McKnight & Brown Ltd.

The name is unchanged, as is the core business of retail menswear.

McKnight & Brown was originally situated at 43 Dee Street. In 1988 the business moved to 53 Esk Street and 10 years later shifted to our current premises at 30 Esk Street.

The aim of the founders was to offer an extensive range of quality clothing backed up with dedicated personal service.

Despite the massive changes in both retail and the clothing industry over the decades, the joint accent on quality and service remains preserved to the present day.

McKnight & Brown understand the importance of individuality which is reflected in their carefully chosen collection of iconic New Zealand brands and superb international labels.

The skill, expertise and experience of Bernie, Noel, Roger and Amelia is the X-Factor that is McKnight & Brown's point of difference.
