petercoulson Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 My best guess would put it at around 4000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k4mrc Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 My best guess would put it at around 4000 Hi Peter thanks for the guess, but I think if Timpson have around a thousand - then if we have say 2 in most towns ( larger town's cities ) having unto 6 in each I would have thought 5 or 6 times that many?? your more in the know than I though lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrkeys Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Isn't there someone on here that knows the powers that be over at cutting edge ? I'm sure there is you know? bet they have a very close approximation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petercoulson Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Be interesting to know what they say there is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithm Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 I would estimate nearer 3000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBPTerritoryManager Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 I've heard the independent figure is around 3300, but as it changes every week, you'll be unlikely to get a much more accurate figure. I guess you'll have to add in the likes of Timpson and any others regarded as multiples though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithm Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 My guestimate includes approx 1200 Timpson shops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simes Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Got to be more than that surely. We have 6 in Carlisle! 3 Timpsons and 3 independent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrkeys Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 My guess is 5,000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithm Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 When Cutting Edge were distributing to All shoe repairers, including Timpsons, the circulation was around 4,500, but that included around 1000 key cutters and a few hundred engaving business, I'll stick with 3000 ish all inclusive.

Seems really low, I have tried using Google toe see how many Towns and Cities there are in UK and if there are one in each on average that figure is more than guesses? 43,000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Muppet Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 There can't be 43,000 towns in UK. That would average out at only 1500 people per town. Maybe that includes villages and hamlets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
