It had approximately 82 employees.[3] The company ceased to trade in 2017. The company continued to exist until it was liquidated and ceased to exist as a company in 2019. [4]

In March 2011, the company was mentioned during a debate on ethical fashion at the House of Lords. Baroness Rendell of Babergh stated that Wall "set an example that could be a standard for [fashion] companies".[7]
