Susan Nicol, general manager of St. Enoch Centre: “We are delighted to welcome Ness to the Centre and are sure its excellent range of clothing and accessories will be a huge success with our shoppers.

“We have welcomed a wide range of well-known brand names and stores to St. Enoch since our £150m transformation began and with Cult Clothing set to launch its largest UK store at St. Enoch later this month we are continuing to increase the choice and variety we offer shoppers.”
