This podcast aims to provide inspiration, motivation and energy to those looking to start, scale or pivot their business, by hearing the stories of others who have been brave, followed their heart, kept their nerve and grown something quite remarkable.
In this episode I speak to Tom Hainworth, director of AW Hainworth, a woolen textile mill in Pudsey Yorkshire, an eighth generation family business established in 1783 and one of the oldest businesses in Britain.
AW Hainsworth is one of most highly regarded suppliers of woolen fabrics in the world, with a discerning international client base and a Royal Warrant of Appointment which is granted as a mark of recognition to companies who have regularly supplied goods or services to the Royal Households.
Tom talks about the incredible rich heritage of AW Hainsworth which includes supplying the cloth of the iconic scarlet coats worn at the Battle of Waterloo, through to the present day protecting our fire and rescue services through their specialist cloth materials; collaborations with fashion designers and supplying the billiard cloth which the world's most elite players play on.
Tom talks about the need to continuously innovate in order to stay relevant, the importance and value of brand and the unique benefits and challenges of running a family business.
