Rimell Saddlers Ltd.
Rimell Saddlers Ltd. is now a custom Leatherwork Business and Online Outlet Store. We offer all manner of repairs and custom work please do not hesitate to contact us should you wish to discuss a repair or commission.
The business was traditionally a saddlery and equestrian retail business started in Newbold-on-Stour by Mr Rimell and passed on to Rob Wilson who moved the business to Shipston-on-Stour. I took over in 2020 and unfortunately, post Covid, having a physical shop and the retail side was becoming less and less viable with overheads increasing and custom jobs piling up it was becoming harder and harder to justify having the store front.
We have an Online Outlet Store where we are listing the remaining stock items. This is still a work in progress but we are adding new items all the time so keep your eyes peeled and grab a bargin!
Tel: 07432 175143
Please text me if I don't answer, I will do my best to get back to you ASAP.
I am desperately trying to play catch up on repairs recieved prior to closing the shop so please be patient.
Emails will be checked in the morning and evening and I will endeavour to be available on the mobile as much as possible but only on the number listed above Monday to Friday.
