About Us

So who are we?

Morplan is the number one supplier to the UK's retail and fashion industries and,with over 5,000 products featured in our catalogue and many more online,we aim to be the one stop shop for all our customers. We've been around for over 165 years so like to think we know a thing or two about how to serve you best.

From shopfittings and showcases to carrier bags, hangers and tickets, you'll find everything you need to run a successful retail business.

For a really professional finish, many of our products can be printed with your company name or logo and, if what you need is totally unique,we can often source just what you're looking for from our army of suppliers. Our products are available via a 500 page catalogue, a user-friendly website and four stores- located in London, Bristol, Enfield and Glasgow. Our inhouse sales teams are on hand to take your order and answer any questions you have. You can order online 24/7 at morplan.com or one of our sales reps can visit you to discuss any special requirements.

Not in Fashion?

No one can ignore the fact that our roots are deeply embedded in the fashion trade and we still offer thousands of products expressly for use by fashion students and designers, garment manufacturers, clothing wholesalers and fashion retailers.

However, over the last 10 years, we've developed our ranges to appeal to every retailer and we now carry extensive collections aimed at jewellers, shoe shops, gift shops, furniture showrooms, florists and more.

Not in Business?

Many of our customers are home workers,hobbyists or students and we are happy to supply products to anyone via our website or telesales team.

Our stores prefer to register all customers but, if that really isn't of interest to you, just say so when you make your purchase. So long as you remember that our prices are shown without VAT and that we have minimum mail order values, we are here to help. And, if you do chose to register, we'll be able tell you about our new products and monthly offers as soon as they start.

We will NEVER supply your information to any other company and you can opt out of mailings at any time.

Who put the "Mor" into Morplan?

Turn the clock back to 1845 in the Camberwell area of South East London and you would find Mr Morrish, the company's founder, busy in his print workshop in Union Row Cottages. The earliest official records traced are the local rate books of January 1846 when the sum of £1 13s 4d was paid.

The business must soon have expanded as by 1870 it was also operating in the City at Paternoster Square, London, EC4. It was the closure of the printers, Chalfonts, that lead to the formation in 1894 of Morrish & Chalfont, 'Wholesale and Retail Stationers, Steam Printers, Paper Bag and Account Book Manufacturers'.

This new company was based at 56 Great Titchfield Street, London, W.1 and its descendant, Morplan, still occupies the same site today!

Over the next 100 years, Great Titchfield Street was to change almost beyond recognition as London's wholesale fashion district grew up around it. Although stationery and printing remained, fashion industry items eventually became Morplan's primary business interest.

Cutting Edge

By the 1960s Morplan was operating from four sites within London and had started to experiment with the latest new-fangled idea from the States - mail order! After trading through a series of brochures and loose-leaf catalogues, the first complete colour catalogue was created in 1987. Online shopping went live back in 1998 and has since grown to rival sales made through conventional channels such as telesales and the stores. Our next challenge is to develop our presence on Twitter, Facebook and Google+. You can follow our efforts by adding Morplan to your favorites!!

Today Morplan is based in Harlow, Essex, sending out over 500 orders every day to companies across the UK and Northern Ireland. There's a huge Distribution Centre to house all 5,000+ products and a head office where you'll find telesales, customer services, accounts, marketing and IT.

Working in Partnership

Morplan has changed hands several times over the years but became part of the French Retif Group back in 1999. There are over 190 Retif stores across Europe, all providing much the same service as Morplan does. Since becoming part of the group we've expanded our ranges of visual merchandising props - taking advantage of the extra buying power that our French colleagues enjoy. The three UK Retif stores are currently being rebranded as Morplan - a more popular brand in the UK - but still maintain their French connection, specialising in short-run display props for seasonal events such as Valentines Day, Easter, Spring, Summer, Halloween and Christmas.
