They are synonymous with heritage, quality, integrity and creativity. Indeed, it is a case of Rule Britannia in locations worldwide because when the best carpet is required, be it for the White House, the QE2, the Kremlin or Hong Kong airport, British carpet is the choice.
Our manufacturers use the best materials and techniques. Many buy, scour, spin and dye their own yarn and control everything from the back of the sheep to your floor! All UK made carpets are produced in compliance with the stringent regulations policed by the Environment Agency. Our manufacturers also support the farming industry and collectively are the biggest users of British Wool in the country. In their communities they provide jobs, skills and a sense of brand identity and pride.
