Joseph Cheaney
 
The Ultimate Men’s Shoe Collection
Joseph Cheaney established the company in 1886, and in 1896, along with his brother Arthur, they moved to the site which the factory occupies today.
During the first 80 years of business the factory made shoes exclusively for some of the finest stores and companies around the world, branded to their individual company requirements.

Joseph Humphrey Cheaney, known as ‘Dick’ Cheaney, the grandson worked for the company for 51 years, retiring in 1978. He realised that the company’s future lay in building up its own Cheaney brand for its home and export markets.

The business was sold in 1964 to Church’s English Shoes - the world famous brand based in Northampton. It was at this time that the ‘Cheaney brand’ became available to retailers all over the world.

In September 2009, William Church and Jonathan Church, formerly directors of Church & Co. Ltd., announced their successful management buyout of the entire Cheaney business from Church & Co. Ltd.,, thus returning Cheaney to independent ownership.

Our ability to blend the past with the future, using the finest materials available, has enabled us to become one of the premier producers of Goodyear welted shoes in the world today. We are committed to continuing to offer our clients an innovative and high quality product from both instock and made to order options and, to this end, we intend to launch our new website early in 2010.
