Introducing ... Lorraine!

It's always an exciting time when any business expands, but with July marking our first year of trading, we're especially delighted to be introducing the latest addition to the Pre Shoes team - our new Office Manager, Lorraine!


This crucial role enables Susie to concentrate on designing the shoes and allows us to cater for the increasing demand for Pre Shoes throughout the UK. As Susie, the founder of Pre Shoes, says:

"I have known Lorraine for many years and I am so pleased that she agreed to come and join Pre Shoes."

Lorraine has a wealth of experience and is also a mother and a grandmother, so she knows first hand the importance of good quality shoes for little ones. She has worked as a nursery day care owner and organised summer playschemes, and is excited to now be a part of the Pre Shoes team:

"It is lovely to be working alongside Susie once again. I do admire the energy and enthusiasm she brings to Pre Shoes, her designs are modern and fun. I am enjoying being involved in a variety of challenges and helping Pre Shoes grow from strength to strength."

Welcome on board, Lorraine!

Welcoming the Interns


Pre Shoes has recently welcomed two new arrivals to its ranks after teaming up with the graduate internship program at a Leicester university. Under the program, individuals get to spend time with and learn from established companies as part of their career development. Lisa Naik, from De Montfort University states, “The graduate internship programme places recent graduates into a range of organisations.  We believe that this will enhance their future career prospects and provide valuable experience for the individuals involved.”


We've been lucky enough to have two interns working with us for a period of five weeks. They're limited to thirty hours a week so we're making the most of that time! From inviting their input into the baby shoe design process to hopefully helping them garner an understanding of life in 'the real world', we feel it's been a great experience all round. Thanks De Montfort!
