History

Jacobs & Turner Ltd., Trespass' parent company, was established in 1938[2] and, at the time, specialized in technical workwear. The subsidiary brand Trespass was created in 1984, moving the company towards specializing in performance skiwear and outdoor clothing. Since its inception, the company has been located in Glasgow, Scotland, with its main head office and distribution centre still residing in the south side of the city.

Stores

After moving into the retail trade in the 1990s, Trespass expanded its business. The 150th Trespass store was opened in Wembley at the London Designer Outlet, and in 2010 the company expected to open a further 250 UK stores by 2014.[3][4]

The company has UK retail stores and operations in 62 countries worldwide.[4][3] Trespass also has a e-commerce business on its website.
