Sixty years after supplying cloth for military uniforms worn at The Queen’s Coronation, a historic West Yorkshire textile firm will once again be ‘on parade’ for royalty.
Pudsey-based Hainsworth has been invited to attend the Coronation Festival in July to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the ceremony. The company will join more than 200 Royal Warrant Appointed exhibitors for four days from July 11-14 at product displays in the gardens of Buckingham Palace.
Hainsworth was awarded its Royal Warrant in 2004 and its interior fabrics are used as curtains at Windsor Castle and for the interiors of Buckingham Palace. It is also well known for manufacturing the scarlet cloth which is worn by the Queen’s Guards outside Buckingham Palace.
The firm’s current managing director Tom Hainsworth said: “Hainsworth is proud of its heritage and its long-standing connections with the Royal Family and is hugely honoured to have been chosen to take part in this special festival.
“It will provide us with a great platform to showcase our interior furnishings and also the many other areas of our business.”
