A popular brand has announced it will stop selling its products in the UK. Kiwi, a well-known brand of shoe polish, has confirmed that dwindling sales means it will no longer sell in the UK. Kiwi is responsible for more than half of the world’s shoe polish and is sold in more than 180 countries. However, David James, 62, who runs a shoe repair and cleaning firm, said the company’s decision to stop selling in the UK was a “sign of the times”. A spokesman for Kiwi said the company was reacting to the drop of sales in the UK which has been accelerated by more people wearing trainers and not polishing their shoes.
