The Society of Master Repairers, the premier accreditation body for repair professionals across the UK and Ireland. Our longstanding reputation connects consumers with skilled tradespeople, celebrating craftsmanship rooted in centuries of tradition. Our story begins with St. Crispin, patron saint of shoemakers, inspiring guilds that upheld standards for generations. These communities, thriving in the 18th and 19th centuries, fostered mutual respect and shared knowledge, shaping the foundation of our industry. In the 20th century, the merger of the St. Crispin’s Society of Shoemen and the National Boot Trades Association formed the St. Crispin’s Boot Trades Association in 1963. Renamed in 1984 to the Society of Master Shoe Repairers, our organization has evolved to embrace a broader scope, now known as the Society of Master Repairers. Today, we proudly continue this legacy, offering formal accreditation and enhancing consumer trust through our nationally promoted “Find a Repairer” directory. From key cutters to heritage restorers, our members benefit from marketing support and industry credibility. Join us to access tools that ensure success in today's digital era. Whether you're a watch technician or master cobbler, our platform is designed to elevate your business and preserve your craft. Be recognized, trusted, and chosen—because your skills deserve to shine.
