Timpson Wins The Double - Shoe Repairer of the Year
For the third time in four years one of our great shoe repairers has won the prestigious Rendenbach Shoe Repairer of the Year Award.
Ben Shelmerdine from Sarsden won this year's competition after coming 2nd and 3rd in previous years. The judges declared that marking between the first five pairs was very close indeed this year. Ben wins £600 from Rendenbach and a splendid glass trophy and a bottle of Champagne.
Completing an amazing double over the whole of the UK for Timpson was one of Ben's great mentors, Keith Dutton, from Cheadle, who was narrowly beaten into 2nd place but still wins the accolade of finishing ahead of all the other entrants. Keith wins £300 and a glass trophy and a bottle of Champagne.
