SOSF NEWS S.S.F. Student of The Year 2016: Lisa Coulborn M.S.S.F.
Prof. Wesley Vernon OBE – President of The Society of Shoe Fitters was delighted to present Lisa Coulborn of Little Goody New Shoes, Ramsbottom, Bury, Lancs. with the prestigious Fisher-George Memorial Trophy as Student of the Year 2016.
Lisa was a ‘model student’ according to her
Tutor Maureen Unsworth, returning her assignments on time and participating fully during the practical Workshop’s.
Lisa was accompanied by her proud father
David (better known as Bill) to the Footwear Awards Dinner at the Motorcycle Exhibition Centre during MODA this February. Lisa was rewarded with a bouquet and trophies from the SSF, a crystal award from Datateam Publishing House and thrilled to receive a personally inscribed valet box donated by Kevin Burton of (Dasco) Dunkelman’s.
Lisa said ‘The support I have received from the
SSF has been tremendously helpful and reassuring whilst setting up my own shop. I cannot understand why every business does not invest in the Society’s education and membership, it continues to serve me well and I know that my customers are being served well too’.

there are one or two worthy candidates already this year and lots more students who have yet to start their coursework.
