Beeston-based bed maker Harrison Spinks has won the King’s Award for Enterprise for Sustainable Development.
MD Nick Booth said: “Receiving the King’s Award for Sustainable Development is a tremendous honour, especially after previously holding a Queen’s Award in this category, and it reflects the unwavering dedication of our whole team’s efforts to be the UK’s most responsible bedmaker.
“As a proud British manufacturer, this award win is testament to our commitment to driving the business forward through industry-leading responsible business practices that also enrich the lives of our colleagues and communities.
“Whether it’s actively encouraging biodiversity on our farms, supporting children’s bed charity Zarach with mattresses each month for children and families in poverty, or helping our employees achieve a better work-life balance by introducing a compressed four-day working week, we know the importance of making a positive difference to the world around us.
“We’re immensely proud to have been recognised by the most prestigious Awards for Enterprise in the UK. Having previously won seven Queen’s and King’s Awards for Sustainable Development, Innovation, and International Trade, this latest accolade only reinforces our position as world leaders in sustainable bedmaking.”
The company has been building beds since 1840, including introducing a world-first pocket spring recyclable due to its glue-less design, and made from wire drawn in-house. It’s the only bedmaker to have its own farms to produce home-grown natural materials for use within its mattress filling pads, and the only British bed manufacturer to create 95% of our mattress components in-house, including our fire-retardant chemical-free mattress fabric woven in Yorkshire.
