Wolverhampton shop owner worried for future after trading for over 20 years
"I don't want to give this in – my mother was in the wool trade when I was born and this is my passion every day and I just don't want to lose it."
Those are the words of Wolverhampton shop owner Tracey Spilsbury who revealed her business is struggling due to the rise of online shopping.
She runs Wulfrun Wools & Crafts, in Penn, and had been in the city centre on Cleveland Street for 21 years before moving in November last year.
Now, despite wanting to keep that "personal touch", she has set her sights on selling items online after seeing a drop in her number of customers.
Mrs Spilsbury said: "I was in Wolverhampton city centre for 21 years and I moved out because I was getting broken into. I moved to Springhill Lane, in Penn, and we had Covid to deal with.
