Mission & Purpose

To really get to know the Cotton Traders story, you need to go back...way back! 16 years before we were established, to be precise, to a time before the company was even a sparkle in anyone’s eye! It all started on a college rugby pitch in 1970, when Fran Cotton & Steve Smith first met in Loughborough. 1980 saw the end of Fran & Steve’s illustrious rugby careers as they looked to the future. They joined Bukta sportswear, that was responsible for producing a lot of sport team’s kits around this era. It was here they honed and learnt the clothing trade. 1987 - In a small office in Altrincham, Cotton Traders was born! 1998 - Cotton Traders open its first retail store at Cheshire Oaks, we go on to open countless more nationwide! 2022 - Cotton Traders goes online and since then we haven't stopped growing,... Today, Cotton Traders is a renowned brand and multi channel retailer with an extremely loyal and dedicated customer base. With over 70 retail stores across garden centres, outlets and travel sites, millions of catalogues mailed to customers each year and a busy Contact Centre! We also have our head office based in Altrincham and our ever growing Distribution Centre in Nottingham. Wherever you work and whatever you do, we value and invest in our people and ensure that they have the opportunity to thrive at Cotton Traders. .
