I talked with Birch who sent this message - All of the shoe repair wholesale business is being moved from Essex to Leeds, more logistics are being moved to Essex to secure jobs, so we are not closing down we are simply changing round our operations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul_ Posted December 9, 2022 Report Share Posted December 9, 2022 I heard the same as K4mrc, all repair/shoe retail/key stock is moving to Leeds. Essex are concentrating on Vibram footwear. The rumour that Timpsons are buying wholesalers has been happening for donkeys years. Never happened and can't see see why they ever would.

keithm Posted December 11, 2022 Report Share Posted December 11, 2022 Timpsons never bought the hotel, Flock inns did, owned by Timpsons yes, but it would not have been funded by Timpsons itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
