Behind the Scenes

Upside Down Management

Our ‘Upside Down Management’ style means that the people you meet run the business – everyone else is there to help them do their job.

Shop Colleagues

Shop colleagues get most of their support from their area team. We have 34 area teams covering Timpson, Max and Snappy Snaps – most teams consist of 7 experienced colleagues led by an area manager.

No Head Office

We don’t have a ‘Head Office’! Our central services are provided by the team at Timpson House in Wythenshawe.

We have two main warehouses. The Timpson Warehouse is close to Timpson House in Wythenshawe and the Max warehouse is on the Wirral.
