QD Pending. The company identifies itself as a retailer at Companies House so there is an inconsistency in the information. The AI did not pick up the inconsistency. It may be that it does make some shoes to order and otherwise has UK white-label goods which is satisfactory to qualify for a QD Producer entry. Real-time enquiries are needed in such a case and will be made.
Remember that supporting UK manufacturers by choosing British-made trainers not only ensures quality but also contributes to preserving traditional shoemaking heritage. Happy shoe shopping!
