The Wool Shop in Ludlow has been a wool retailer for many years, with different management over time. Jean Brindley has been in charge for the past 18 years, and her daughter Claire Brindley has joined her in running the shop for the last 10 years. Located in the charming market town of Ludlow, the shop benefits from having minimal competition in the area. As a well-established business, The Wool Shop has built up a solid reputation for its quality and range of products and boasts a loyal customer base in the local area as well as many returning customers from further afield. Claire’s relocation and Jean’s retirement have led to the reluctant decision to sell the business. With some recent shifts in their lives, they’re optimistic that a new owner could enhance the business and guide it towards a successful future.
