Leather Repair Company adds first UK franchise to international network

HULL, U.K. - March 1, 2025 - PRLog -- The Leather Repair Company, founded in 2007 by Richard and Carolynne Hutchins, is expanding internationally through its distribution and franchise programme. The company has now secured its first UK auto detailing partnership with Jon Timson, a former IT professional who now offers leather repair services across Kent and Sussex.

Jon launched his mobile detailing business in 2020 and partnered with LRC after attending a detailing summit in Hull, where industry experts gathered from around the world. Inspired by LRC's expertise—restoring iconic items like George Michael's Patience album sofa and Concorde seats—he has expanded into interior detailing and leather restoration, adding upholstery services to his exterior detailing skills.

His partnership with LRC allows him to offer a full range of solutions to customers, from car interiors to furniture and fashion leather, providing year-round opportunities beyond weather-dependent car care. Richard highlights the industry's growth potential, extending from vehicles to furniture, handbags, and even saddles. LRC not only offers expert training but also supports franchisees with business development, marketing, and wellbeing, ensuring their success in the growing leather repair industry.
