Pavers is an equal opportunities employer, and we welcome applications from everyone, whatever their background.

The Pavers story began in York in 1971 when Catherine Paver took out a £200 bank loan (for a sofa she told them) to fund her new business. She had big dreams of changing the world of footwear and a passion to provide comfortable and stylish shoes for all.

Starting small, she sold shoes at village halls and homeware parties before opening the first Pavers shop in Scarborough in 1981, when Catherine’s three sons joined the business. One of her sons, Stuart, ran the business as Managing Director for over 40 years, joined by his son Jason in 2016. As of September 2023, Jason Paver is now the Managing Director of Pavers Ltd, with Stuart Paver moving to Chairman, taking the company into the 3rd generation of family run leadership.

From these modest beginnings, Pavers Shoes has grown to be a UK leader in today’s footwear industry, with over 180 stores nationwide encompassing our more recently acquired brands including Jones Bootmaker, Herring Shoes, Padders & Van Dal.

We remain acquisitive, highly profitable, and are an ever-growing, independent family-run business, employing over 1,900 people.
We were delighted to be recognised as a 3* Employer with ‘World Class’ levels of workplace engagement and named the ‘2nd Best Retailer to Work For’ by Best Companies in November 2024. In June 2025, we were also recognised as a 3* employer for workplace engagement and received an ‘Excellent’ rating for our Employee Experience from WorkL. Building on this success, Pavers has now also been recognised in The Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2026 list, celebrating organisations that lead the way in employee engagement, wellbeing and workplace culture across the UK.

We know our colleagues are our greatest asset, and we value the talent, passion and unique skills every individual brings to our team.

We have created a workplace culture that promotes inclusivity, ambition, opportunity and growth for all colleagues because we know their dedication and commitment are the driving force behind our success. At Pavers, our colleagues feel part of the family.
