Meet the founders and directors:

Jason Kirk – Jason founded Kirk Originals in 1992 after discovering a box of his grandfather’s 1940’s designs. He, with his wife Karen, grew the business, developing new designs based on those he had found, achieving a strong reputation for their style and winning a number of awards.

Karen Kirk – Karen is an award-winning designer (Silmo D’or design award winner 2003), who is responsible for the design of the Kirk & Kirk ranges of glasses and sunglasses. Karen has been designing glasses since co-founding Kirk Originals with Jason in 1992 and her designs have developed over the years to the unique style seen today.

Meet the executive chairman:

Hugh Clark – Hugh is a family shareholder in the renowned C&J Clark Shoes and acted as a non-executive director of the group for more than a decade. Hugh’s extensive experience with large-scale, high-profile retail businesses will be a hugely valuable addition to Kirk & Kirk’s board as it scales up. He is also experienced in terms of supporting growing businesses, having been involved in The Institute for Family Business as their Chairman.
