Ulster celebrates Jubilee with Royal Warrant
Ulster Carpets has started their Jubilee celebrations early with the granting of a Royal Warrant from Her Majesty The Queen for carpet manufacturing.
Nick Coburn CBE, Group Managing Director, said, “To receive the Royal Warrant in Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee year is a real honour. This achievement has taken several years of dedicated work by our staff and it further underpins the huge success and progression of Ulster Carpets, particularly as we look forward to celebrating our 85th anniversary next year.”
Ulster Carpets works closely with the Royal household to develop designs for Royal residences as part of their prestigious contract business for luxury floorcoverings.
To mark this year’s Jubilee, the company will be making a rug to be presented to The Queen following a competition launched by the Northern Ireland Office for primary school children to design a rug.
Still based on the same site that Nick Coburn’s grandfather founded the company on, Ulster’s forward-thinking and innovative approach has helped them to maintain their manufacturing base in the UK.
“One of the key reasons behind this success is that we are the only fully integrated manufacturer of woven carpet operating entirely in the UK. From sourcing the highest quality wool and spinning and dyeing the yarn through to the bespoke design and weaving of our luxury carpets, we have complete control over every step, said Nick.
“We are continuing a significant investment programme to create and secure jobs in the UK, which will grow our business across the world.”
