Their work is a vital part of what makes Royal occasions special – and this year - their 60th anniversary - is no exception. When the King takes part in the Trooping the Colour in June no doubt a few from family-run Wyedean Weaving, Haworth’s oldest business, will be glued to the TV.
Last year the manufacturer of braid and military uniform accoutrements was awarded a £5m, seven-year contract to make the British Armed Forces’ new regimental Colours and Standards, following the death of Queen Elizabeth II. Four generations of the family held an event on Monday to mark their 60th, where guests got a close look at the Irish Guards regimental Colour, alongside the regiment’s King’s Colour which will be carried on the King’s Birthday Parade on June 15.
Her son, managing director Robin Wright, who was only four when his parents borrowed money to buy a few looms to set up the fledgling business, said she “has a voice in the things we should and shouldn't do - she keeps us in check”. Mr Wright's wife Debra is sales director and daughters Rosie and Susannah are also involved, 'with a potential fifth generation to follow'.
