The Princess Royal has visited Yorkshire bedmaker Harrison Spinks to learn how it makes the beds which earned it the title of Bed Manufacturer of the Year at the 2024 and to present the King’s Award for Sustainable development.
Her tour started with a visit to the company farm in North Yorkshire to see its sustainable farming practices, including its award-winning Wensleydale sheep and pioneering use of hemp and flax, all of which processed into mattress fillings.
