Our History.

The Glover family started business in the late 18th century as hand frame knitters and for seven generations were based in Wigston, Leicestershire.

In 1987, the business was sold to Scottish Heritable Trust plc. Then in 1989, the company trading name Peregrine was reaquired by John Glover.

After successfully trading in hosiery and textiles the company bought a small knitting plant and has since been producing five and seven gauge knitwear to a high standard of finish.

Returning to natural fibres and blends, J.G. Glover and company now produce bespoke quality knitwear in both classic and contemporary styles. Generations of experience and an eye on future innovations ensure continued quality and value for money.
