Joe said: “Timbuktu is all about everyday menswear which looks fantastic but is also really practical.

“We know our customers want something that is going to be practical and protect them from the elements but it also needs to be really stylish and contemporary in look and be of a high quality yet affordable

“I have been looking for some time to find the right location to launch our new brand and this definitely feels like the right place. It is completely different kind of retail destination with a lovely feel to it and a fantastic line up of brands we are delighted to be joining. We’re also impressed with the architecture at Fox Valley and how it pays tribute to the history of the area.”

“The store is starting to take shape now and we’re really excited to launch our first branch of Timbuktu here at Fox Valley.”

Fox Valley is owned and managed by Dransfield Properties Ltd, Managing Director Mark Dransfield said: “It is fantastic news that Timbuktu have chosen Fox Valley as the location for their first retail store which will be launched alongside a strong online presence.

“We are extremely fortunate to have a few “firsts” here at Fox Valley including the first Ponti’s Italian Kitchen outside London and it is great news to be celebrating another great independent family owned company launching its latest venture here.

“We wish Joe and his team all the very best with the new Timbuktu store.”
