Botterill was born into a shoemaking family (W Botterill and Sons, which manufactured the Gola brand of sports footwear), and he spent many school holidays working in shoe factories.
‘Given my background, I am particularly delighted to have joined Satra in its work to support the footwear and consumer goods industries’, said Botterill. ‘I have found this to be an extremely professional organisation, and I am greatly enjoying working with the management team in further developing the service that we bring to our members and customers.’
