Did you know... John Wilson was a Sheffield engineer who was commissioned to make a pair of figure skating blades for King William III in 1696! 🇬🇧⛸️
He was famed throughout England for the quality of his tools, his crafting skills and his unparalleled reputation for excellence. The royal seal of approval ensured that John Wilson’s business continued to bloom, while the strong connection to British royalty carried on and inspired Queen Victoria to commission a pair of skates for herself and Prince Albert in the 1840’s! 😱
