Ep. 48 - Cobblers! The Timpson Group Story
The Family Business Podcast - A podcast by Russ Haworth
In this interview I chat to Sir John about the history of the business, the fantastic culture that has been created and the challenges that were faced in convincing management that it was a good idea. We also talk about Sir John and his late wife, Alex. They fostered over 90 children and we discuss the synergies between the environment that he and Alex created for the children they looked after and the one created within the business.
