Mission & Purpose

The Pavers story began in 1971 when Catherine Paver founded the company. She had big dreams of changing the world of footwear and a passion to provide comfortable and stylish shoes to all. Starting small she sold shoes at village halls and homeware parties and was successful enough to open the first Pavers shop in Scarborough in 1981, where Catherine’s three sons joined the business. One of her sons - Stuart - still runs the business today. Stuart was joined by his son Jason in 2016, and as of 2020, they run the business together as Joint Managing Directors. From these modest beginnings, Pavers Shoes has grown to be a UK leader in today’s comfort footwear industry, with over 140 stores nationwide.
