Justin McCarthy, owner and founder of the popular Groundcover Leather Company which is on the Midlands Meander, was killed tragically last month while he was cycling. The bicycle he was riding collided with a bakkie along the Curry’s Post Road and it appeared that the vehicle had been trying to overtake another car when the accident occurred. The driver was arrested at the scene.
Justin McCarthy leaves his wife Amanda and their four children.
Justin and Amanda founded Groundcover in 1990 and the company is notable for the high quality of its shoes, sandals and handbags. It also has Nguni skins and products. Contact 033 330 6092 or visit www.groundcover.co.za which gives the fascinating history of the leather shop’s building itself.
