In this episode of The Independent Minds Michael Millward meets Stuart Davis, joint founder of the comfortable and super sustainable children’s shoe brand Dubs Universe.

During lockdown Stuart became a stay-at-home Dad to his young daughter. He was struck by how rapidly she was growing both mentally and physically. Like every parent he also saw how quickly she grew out of clothes and shoes.

Stuart explains to Michael the steep learning curve he faced when he was inspired to create a new children’s shoe company. Everything from manufacturing techniques to biology!

Now Dubs Universe is operating successfully, so Stuart explains his plans for the future and the level of investment that will be required to achieve his goal.
