Q&A


Which footwear trade shows/fashion shows do you attend, how do you rate them? Are you planning to attend a shoe show this year, if so, which one?


I attend the Gatwick Shoe Show only/ Do you have any plans for the future?


Do you have a favourite footwear agent you can tell us about? I have a fabulous array of agents. They are all very helpful and all different and bring different qualities to my business.


Have you always had a passion for footwear? How many pairs of shoes do you own? Do you have a favourite pair? No, I have always been quite a tom boy and never been one to go overboard with purchases... until I bought Stampede. Now I love shoes and wear most of my own stock.


Any famous customers? Sam Mitchell – East Enders/

My business plan for the next financial year is focussed on social media and advertising to increase my online sales and footfall from customers in far reaching towns.


at this difficult time, i.e. lower business rates, rents, VAT etc? The local council could remove parking which would increase customer foot fall. Business rates are also a hit on the business.
