Steve Parkin is currently Managing Director of the business founded over 80 years ago by his grandfather, and latterly developed by his father. Steve is proud of the fact that Parkins retains its position in Durham as a premier retailer noted for the high standards of its personal service to customers and the quality of the clothing it stocks.
Visitors to Durham may not be surprised to find that local residents can easily give them directions to the Cathedral or the Castle, but they are taken aback that these locals can just as easily direct them to Parkins' store in North Road! It is a Durham landmark. Parkins has throughout its history, comfortably maintained its traditions of meticulous personal service and an ability to keep abreast of fashion.

What outstanding service we received from Steve! We ordered uniform mid-morning and our order was at our door by early afternoon. We had misjudged sizes and Steve brought extras to try and gave expert advice. I look forward to shopping here again and would highly recommend it. Steve's customer service is superb.

Brilliant service from Parkin’s today. I ordered my son’s school uniform on line as he has grown so much during lockdown. Not only were they delivered just a few hours later but several sizes were brought to the door to try on. Amazing service and quality. Could not have asked for a better service. .

Superb customer service. I ordered 2 different school blazer sizes for my son, they were delivered in person the next day and then the one we didn't need was collected the day after that and a refund issued. So grateful to Parkins for doing that, when we had very little notice about going back to school.
