Episode notes

In the last of the current series, Robin talks to Sir John Timpson, the chairman and owner of Timpson, the UK shoe repair chain with over 2000 shops.

From the early days of running the family business, negotiating deals and orchestrating its growth, through to Sir John's unique style of upside-down management, the conversation explores the way the company has diversified and its commitment to marginalised groups in the community.
