Anglo Global Property Limited, trading as Peacocks, is a British clothing retailer, founded in Warrington in 1884.
Originally selling home goods and basic clothing, Peacocks later re-branded as a value fashion store. Richard Kirk, the former owner of the chain, worked hard to transform Peacocks into a major fashion player. The retailer won numerous awards, notably the Best Value Retailer award from Drapers.
In November 2020, its then-owners The Edinburgh Woollen Mill collapsed into administration. In January 2021, The Edinburgh Woollen Mill was rescued, but with Peacocks the ownership being transferred out of the business in April 2021 to a separate sister company called Green Spark Holdings Limited.
