Businesswear retailer TM Lewin has announced an ambitious international expansion plan, with the aim of opening at least one new store or concession every week for the next three years.

T.M.Lewin already has a successful overseas business with 58 stores and a strong on-line business in markets like Singapore, Malaysia and Australia.

Just over half of the new openings will be in South Africa (46) and India (35) with the balance spread across the Far East (Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia and The Philippines), Middle East (Dubai and Abu Dhabi), Africa (Nigeria) and Eastern Europe (Czech Republic). The group added that it was also looking at potential expansion into China, Japan and the United States.

Geoff Quinn, CEO, commented: "We have received a fantastic reception in many of our new store openings around the world. Clearly our brand is well known within the International business community and this has given us a lot of confidence with our plans."
