Benson & Clegg was founded by Harry Benson and Thomas Clegg, who both worked for Hawes & Curtis, at 34 Bury Street, London SW1, their original premises. In 1976, they moved to 9 Piccadilly Arcade, off Jermyn Street.[1][2]

They have had a Royal Warrant from King George VI since 1944, and from Prince Charles since 1992, "for the supply of buttons, badges and military neckwear".[1]
