KAYS CATALOGUE

Kay & Co Limited was a mail-order catalogue business who ran the Kays Catalogue, sometimes referred to as the Kays Lifestyle Catalogue, with offices and warehouses throughout the UK. It was a very successful company, especially during the latter part of the 20th century.

Its main website www.kays.com had a distinct emphasis on childrenswear, toys and everything the busy mother may need, the brand aimed at the heart of families. It understood the needs of the busy family and made life easier by providing a convenient and hassle-free way to shop and pay for goods.

Kays Catalogue History

Kays became part of GUS Great Universal Stores and later merged with Littlewoods to become Shop Direct. Shop Direct Group Limited was part of the Shop Direct Group of companies and was a leading UK multi-channel retailer, marketing a variety of home shopping brands. Shop Direct was responsible for brands such as Kays catalogue, Great Universal, abound, Choice, Innovations, Marshall Ward, Home Free and McCord.

Shop Direct is centred on the traditional home of the Littlewoods group, Liverpool. The Kays brand continued to be used by Shop Direct until January 2011 when Kays, Empire Stores and Great Universal Stores merged to become K&Co. Ultimately, Kays became part of Littlewoods at the end of July 2015.

Kays PPI Claim

Before making a claim for mis-sold PPI, find out if your Kays catalogue account had PPI attached to it. This applies to both the online catalogue facility and the more traditional paper catalogue.

Many did not carefully read the small print of the account terms and conditions, and PPI was often included to accounts without being brought to the customer’s attention. It was also often added as an afterthought, and you may have received a letter telling you that the product had been added to the account.

Please Note: The PPI deadline (29th August 2019) set by the FCA has now passed and we are no longer accepting any new PPI claims.

DOES THE KAYS CATALOGUE STILL EXIST?

Kays was founded in 1890 and closed in 2004.

CAN I ORDER THE KAYS CATALOGUE?

Unfortunately the Kays catalogue was closed in 2004 and so you can't order the catalogue any more. However you can often find old copies of the catalogue on ebay and sometimes even digital scans of the Kays Catalogue.
