Andrew Muirhead provides leather for Morgan stand at Geneva Motor Show
06/03/2013
The companies have been working together since 2001 and all Morgan cars on display at the show have Andrew Muirhead low carbon leather in their interiors. Andrew Muirhead, part of the Scottish Leather Group, promotes its upholstery leather as ‘low carbon’ because the group has been running its own thermal energy plant at its Bridge of Weir wet-end tannery since 2010, taking what was previously waste sent to landfill and converting it into energy for heating recycled water for the manufacturing process.
In addition, Morgan decided to include samples of finished leather from Andrew Muirhead in a range of textures and colours in its presentation at the show.
Scottish Leather Group chairman, Jonathan Muirhead, said in the build-up to the event: “Morgan is a British motoring icon, and a marque known not only for its sporting performance and classic design, but its fine quality materials too, leather chief amongst them. I am very proud that this leather is an Andrew Muirhead product: high performance, locally sourced, low carbon, and from a British family business, like Morgan.”
Morgan director, Charles Morgan, added: “As ever, we aim to showcase the very best of British at Morgan, and the high-performance leather from Muirhead is an excellent example. Leather is an integral part of the Morgan experience, the smell, the feel, the natural look and the quality; Muirhead delivers all this and more, as exhibited here in Geneva. We’re proud to have them as our guest supplier on the show stand.”
