Repair Shop's teddy bear experts run successful restoration business

The "Teddy Bear Ladies" from The Repair Shop, Amanda Middleditch and Julie Tatchell, have built a successful restoration business and expanded their work beyond the show. The pair, who have been on the BBC series since 2017, run Bear it in Mind, a restoration business established in 2006. They also host a podcast and co-authored a children's book, showcasing their passion for teddy bears. Their love for teddy bears began in childhood, leading to their business and eventually, their television appearances. They were approached by the BBC to join the show, which they embraced.
