OUR PEOPLE
G eorge Cleverley is a unique shoe company with an impressive history.
Headed by Mr. George Glasgow Snr (Co-owner & Chairman) & Mr. George
Glasgow Jr (Co-owner & CEO), it has become world-renowned for handmade
shoes & leather goods. Between George Snr & George Jr they attend every
trunk show around the world to ensure they meet with clients and keep a
personal relationship with their customers.
In 1978 George Cleverley decided that John Carnera and George Glasgow
seemed to share his same high principles of shoemaking as he understood,
and they became in essence his pupils and eventually his successors. Between
them, George and John have a shared experience of 90 years in the Bespoke
world.
All the Cleverley staff of shoe makers go through a 3 to 5 year apprenticeship
to ensure the style and quality is consistently maintained.
