Couple’s fashion and security ventures prove a winning mix

A YORKSHIRE-based couple have achieved business success in the contrasting worlds of fashion and security.

David Fullerton and Abby Williams have moved their two companies – Fight for Fashion and Professional Security – into a single base, Crown Point House in Leeds, after enjoying rapid growth.

Fight for Fashion, which is owned by Mr Fullerton and Ms Williams, was established five years ago and acts as a retailer and distributor of fashion brands and mixed martial arts clothing and equipment.

The company supplies to leading high street retailers such as JD Sports, DW Sports and Sports Direct.

Professional Security, which was established in 2002 by Mr Fullerton, supplied 300 security staff for the London Olympics. Both businesses were previously based in York Place, Leeds.

The companies collectively employ 35 permanent staff and more than 3,000 security staff.

Mr Fullerton said yesterday: “We have been very lucky to have achieved so much in such economically challenging times, but the hard work is paying off, and the last few years have seen both businesses flourish.

“The new premises are ideal for us, we needed mixed use facilities near to Leeds city centre and Crown Point House was the perfect fit.

“We now have more office space for our staff and can also relocate our stock from the Midlands to Leeds, which should lead to a more efficient service for our customers.”
