There is every chance we may have something for you!
Meet the Business Owner: Donald B.
In April 2013 the business acquired five new stores from DE Shoes in Lerwick, Elgin, Kirkwall, Inverurie and Peterhead. This safeguarded over forty jobs and ensures Begg Shoes values are extended in the north and northeast of Scotland. The business now has eight stores - reaching as far south as Perth and as far north as Lerwick. The acquisition of the 5 stores coincided with the sixth generation of the family joining the business. Donald Begg, formerly a professional footballer with Inverness Caledonian Thistle and a Chartered Accountant, has provided additional impetus to the development of the business and has continued its evolution with the development of the Begg Shoes website.
