- The firm is a local icon with global reach: makers of Goodyear-welted shoes worn by soldiers and celebrities (even Doctor Who), and a multi‑generation workforce.
- Owners say no immediate changes — former owner Tim Little stays as COO — and Castore’s international and e‑commerce know‑how is expected to help expand sales and safeguard jobs.
