Invicta men's underware. Who owns? UK only please

Hello Dave

The Invicta men's underwear brand belongs to the WW Group in
Yorkshire:

"Founded in 1834, WW Group has constantly reacted to changes in the
clothing market and has now developed into a major supplier of a wide
range of products to the high street retailer. Our products are all
designed and developed in-house by our own team of designers and are
marketed under brands such as Cameo, Invicta, Janique and Manica."

Invicta is one of the brands making up the WW Group's "Kings Club"
range:

Their address is :

PUDSEY, 
LEEDS,

TEL: +44 (0) 113 257 8234

The address page includes a contact name and email for:

I discovered this by using the Trade Marks database at the Patent
Office. If you search using the word "invicta" for group 25 (clothing)
you will find that WW Group own a couple of variations on the Invicta
brand name.

Then a search for "WW group" + invicta led me to relevant pages of
their website:

I hope this gives you all the information you need but if you would
like anything clarified, please just ask.

P.S. Perhaps I should have added that it's Trade Mark number 325667,
registered in  1910, which relates to Invicta men's underwear:

"Class 25:
Men's women's and children's hose, children's socks and three quarters
socks,
men's half hose socks, men's women's and children's underclothing;
men's and
boys sweaters, and men's women's and boy's jerseys and coats.
Proprietor:  
WW Group Limited
P.O. Box 9,Cemetery Road,Pudsey,West Yorkshire,LS28 7XD  "

"Invicta is a long established company that in its early days supplied
underwear and pyjamas. However, it has now progressed in to casual and
sportswear clothing under the brand name of Espace, bringing a more
modern look to their merchandise."
