Bolton Footwear s mission is to remain a sustainable business, fairly reward all its stakeholders, as well as acknowledge their respective interests and contributions.

3 Bolton Footwear s mission is to remain a sustainable business, fairly reward all its stakeholders, as well as acknowledge their respective interests and contributions. This mission is to be achieved through meeting the needs of the markets with quality, value-for-money footwear and outstanding service. A BRIEF HISTORY Bolton Footwear is active in the footwear manufacture and wholesale trade. It is one of Southern Africa s foremost footwear companies, comprising four factories with an unparalleled expertise in the manufacture of footwear. The ranges of some brands are complemented by imported footwear, to add scope where the company does not engage in that type of construction, or when volumes make it uneconomical to manufacture. The earliest history of Bolton Footwear dates back to Charles Searle, an immigrant from England, settled as a tollkeeper at Great Brak River. Like many South Africans living in remote areas, he began making his own rugged leather veldschoen stitch-down boots which he supplied to the operators of the ox-wagon trains transporting goods between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth. The company steadily grew over the years and became a household name as a respected manufacturer of quality shoes. As the company expanded, it was able to list on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange in 1949 as Searles Holdings under the Clothing, Footwear and Textiles Sector. The company was delisted from the Johannesburg Stock Exchange at the end of 2000 and now trades as Bolton Footwear (Pty) Ltd. Bolton Footwear acquired two big market players, Barker Footwear in 2013 and Jordan & Co in 2015, to produce the quality selection of brands present in this brochure. 5
