Year established: 1890
Commendation: Generational Family Business
Henry Bucks, the well-known Melbourne menswear store is a fifth-generational business. The store is now managed by Tim Cecil, great grandson to its founders, Henry and Laura Buck who opened the store in 1890.
Tim’s nephew has now joined the family business. Tim describes the business as offering timeless clothing, with a friendly and welcoming ambience and fantastic service. As Tim explains, while there is always a challenge to ‘win over the next generation’, the store works on reputation, with a strong history of quality and service and many ‘generational’ customers.
The family now own seven stores, including one in New South Wales and one in South Australia.
