Royal visit for Crockett & Jones

22/01/2013
The Prince of Wales, Prince Charles, visited high-end footwear manufacturer Crockett & Jones in Northampton on January 22, touring the factory and meeting the workforce.

Crockett & Jones was founded in the city in 1879 in Northampton and still specialises in the high-quality Goodyear-welted footwear that it began to make then. The business remains in the hands of the founding family.

It exports about 70% of production at the moment.
