“My name is Alex and I am the founder of Beorma. In May 2022, I returned home after my ninth trip to the Middle East. After a 15-year career in explosive ordnance disposal, spent working in some of the most incredible places and with the most extraordinary people from all over the world, it was like jumping off a cliff blindfolded.” Thus began Alex Simpson’s adventure, a career in Her Majesty’s Armed Forces and a deep passion for leather craftsmanship. He decided to take over a company with four generations of leatherworking history behind it, located in the heart of Walsall, England. Thus was born the Beorma brand, a testament to resilience, a celebration of heritage and a tribute to Walsall’s leather craftsmen.
