Thomas Ware MD pays tribute to workforce
Bristol-based tannery Thomas Ware & Sons welcomed a royal visitor at the end of September as it was officially presented with the Queen’s Award for Enterprise, the most prestigious accolade for businesses in the UK.

On September 25, His Royal Highness the Duke of Kent toured the facilities of the UK leather manufacturer, which uses traditional veg-tanning methods. He then presented the award to managing director Alistair Brearley.

Mr Brearley said: “We are absolutely delighted. Our success can be attributed to the hard work, dedication and continued support from all of our staff, customers, suppliers and overseas agents.”

Thomas Ware’s sales development manager, Barry Knight, added: “We have worked extremely hard at developing the overseas markets and enjoyed – not just great success – but have developed a number of wonderful, strong relationships along the journey. This is only the start of things to come, we have many more leathers to develop and new markets to explore.”
