Princess Alexandra was given a tour of the furniture workshops by Julian Brown, Managing Director, who highlighted the skills of each individual member of staff together with examples of bespoke furniture made for projects such as Gleneagles, The Langham Hotel and Soho House.

Julian Brown, Managing Director said, “It was a pleasure and a privilege to be able to show HRH Princess Alexandra around the workshops. Princess Alexandra was very interested in every stage of the process from the timber mill to the final finished product.”
