A firm that has manufactured clerical clothing for more than 200 years is closing down.
Wippell & Co was founded in Exeter, Devon in 1789 and went on to open sites in London and in New Jersey, US. The company also supplied graduation gowns and mortarboards and said it had lost hundreds of thousands of pounds as university graduation ceremonies were stopped in the pandemic. The firm said 44 employees would be affected. Wippell & Co makes handmade garments including cassocks and altar frontals.
