THE ROYAL SEAL OF APPROVAL

Standfast and Barracks, our wonderful fabric printing company, received the royal seal of approval as HRH The Princess of Wales visited our impressive, Grade II listed working factory. Catherine, The Princess of Wales was shown our historic archive, filled with our designs from past and present, and greeted our teams based at the Lancaster site.

The Princess herself has links to industry and manufacture. William Lupton & Co, based in Leeds is a woollen manufacturer and merchant on the Princess’s paternal ancestral line.

Sanderson Design Group is incredibly proud of its own heritage and our commitment to continuing with heritage techniques while incorporating newer, sustainably led technologies. It is thrilling to continue to push forward in this industry and so wonderful to hear of the Princess of Wales’s own personal links and shared interest in a sector we are deeply committed to and immeasurably proud of.
