John started as a shoe shop assistant in the Altrincham branch in 1960 and 63 years later is still very actively involved, visiting over 800 shops a year as the Company Chairman.
John, prompted by his late wife, Alex, led a management buyout in 1983 and, after selling the shoe shop division in 1987, created a separate Timpson Shoe Repair company which became the basis of today's multi-service chain. Before handing over the day to day management to James, John developed his Upside Down Management way of doing business and wrote a library of both technical and management guide books that set out the principles the company continues to follow.
