Harrison Spinks Managing Director Simon Spinks (left) and Chair Peter Spinks receive the Queen’s Awards for Enterprise in Sustainable Development from Lord Lieutenant Mr. Ed Anderson in the company’s new Innovation Centre.
The award recognizes a number of eco-friendly and sustainable innovations within the company’s process of mattress manufacturing and within the mattress products themselves. Some of these practices include growing and using hemp to replace synthetics, reusing waste from the production process, designing recyclable products and reducing CO2 emissions.
This is the second Sustainable Development award and the fifth Queen’s Award for the Leeds, England-based company.
