Dean Westmoreland is a professional cobbler and restoration specialist featured on the BBC programme The Repair Shop, which airs on BBC One. The show, first launched in 2017, focuses on restoring treasured heirlooms brought in by the public.
He joined the series in 2021 as the resident cobbler, contributing expertise in repairing shoes, boots, and leather goods. His work often involves historically significant items, including wartime boots and decades-old footwear with deep emotional value.
Westmoreland did not initially plan to become a cobbler; he entered the trade after applying for a job in a shop and later developed a passion for the craft.
Despite his growing popularity on television, he keeps his personal life private. However, we know he lives with his fiancée Leigh and their sons Oscar and Otis.
On the show, he works alongside a team of experts led by figures such as Will Kirk and Dominic Chinea, helping preserve meaningful objects and their stories for future generations.
