Eton Backs British Manufacturing

Published: 17 June, 2011

Steeped in heritage, tradition, nostalgia and pride, Eton College is as British as afternoon tea with cucumber sandwiches. Often described as the most famous public school in the world, Eton was founded in 1440 by Henry VI. The prestigious college is well-known for its former students who graduate to become inspirational actors, successful comedians and even Prime Ministers. Therefore it was an honour and a privilege for Heckmondwike FB to supply the carpet for this historic and beautiful school.

Three ranges have been supplied; Supacord, Pure Care and Broadrib for this iconic school allowing for (possible) future Prime Ministers and royalty to sample the carpets in their classrooms, corridors and bedrooms.

Contracted by Cavendish Flooring, this is not the first time British carpet manufacturer Heckmondwike FB has been involved in supplying the flooring for the influential college. Heckmondwike FB carpets have been used at Eton for the past 30 years – walked on by Princes and Prime Ministers.
