Northamptonshire Business Awards 2019 Finalists What the judges said:


“Grosvenor Group has developed an impressive suite of digital tools at the heart of their business which so obviously benefits their customers.”


DB Shoes Founded in 1920, DB Shoes is about to celebrate 100 years. After strolling through the first 50 years, the 1970s saw the company race into the lead with new production techniques. But the race was over in the 1990s as huge competition from overseas suppliers dashed into the market. The company was down and very nearly out. Sidestepping, DB Shoes reinvented itself and is now a market leader in specialist wide


fitting and deep toe boxed shoes, selling to B-2-B and B-2-C. Technological changes along the way have been crucial and DB Shoes is once again putting its best foot forward.
