A letter from David Wainwright

Welcome to
the Wainwright Shoe Shops Website, I hope you enjoy your visit. We
have been in the Shoe Retail and repair business for over 89 years,
ten members of the Wainwright family have been personally involved
with the running of the business over that time, and now the task
has fallen on my shoulders.
I would like
to assure you that the high standard that my grandfather set back in
1919, is still maintained today. We take great pride in all we do,
and would like to think that the service you will receive when you
visit one of our shops is second to none, you are very important to
us, we realise that our loyal customer base which we have built up
over the 89 years of trading is our biggest asset, satisfied
customers always keep coming back, and they usually recommend us to
their friends too, which contributes largely to our success,
especially when other shoe retail businesses are struggling to make
a living, we are growing, so we must be doing something right. It is
not uncommon to have been serving several generations of the same
family in our shops, so we would say many of our customers are our
friends.
We have a
wealth of experience invested in our staff who have on the whole
remained with us for a long period of time, some have joined our
business straight from school and have remained with us ever since,
this has meant that our staff have built up a great knowledge of the
retail shoe trade.
We supply
shoes to many peers of the realm and other distinguished people, but
if you visit one of our shops you will be treated in just the same
way as we treat them, like Royalty whatever you status, all our
customers get the Wainwright’s service with a smile treatment, it is
the solid foundation on which our business is built.
