Originally called Williams & Griffin, the store was formed in 1963 from a merger of independent stores founded by Herbert Williams and Henry Griffin in the 19th century, which was then sold to Fenwick department stores in 2008. This was followed by a major £35 million redevelopment and was the largest department store redevelopment taking place outside Central London.
Today, Fenwick Colchester offers a West End shopping experience featuring the best brands in the region.
