Well known for staying out of the spotlight, Ray Kelvin founded what clothing store company?

Ted Baker plc is a British luxury clothing retail company. It is listed on the London Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the FTSE 250 Index.

Ted Baker's founder and CEO, Ray Kelvin, started his first store in March 1987 in Glasgow, and opened further stores in Manchester, and Nottingham.

A new range, Ted Baker Woman, was launched in 1995.
