Polish/eastern European customers.


Recommended Posts

Has anyone else notice the increase in trade form the Polish/eastern European community. Women in their 20s and 30s are often in with their shoes, yet the British population in that age group are not so common (although I think the trade from this age group is slowly growing).

 

Does this mean that the repair trade in Poland is healthy, are there any Polish repairers now working here in the UK?

I have a fairly large (for a small town!) Polish community, and I have found this as well.

They also don't question prices constantly, they are prepared to pay to have a proper job done. :D

Yes there are a few and the ones I know are good at their jobs.

I service a town that has recently been in the news regarding the large amount of migrant workers from Eastern Europe. I have never had a problem in general with the increasing number coming through my door. The odd person will give the repair a good inspection prior to paying, but everyone always seem satisfied. They are the majority still getting stiletto heels done, where this type of repair appears to be waning here
