Harrogate based Kitchen and bathroom furniture maker, Harvey George, is to showcase Westmorland products – after the sheepskin retailer announced it was closing its store in the centre of town.
Westmorland Sheepskins said it would be no longer trading from its shop on Montpellier after failing to agree terms for a new lease on the unit. The company said it would be continuing to trade online.
Now Harvey George’s owners have offered free space to promote Westmorland products in their showroom on Hookstone Park.
The company said it was keen to keep Harrogate’s independent retailers going and especially keen to support another Yorkshire made business like themselves.
Sophie Griffiths, Finance Director of Harvey George said:
“We are delighted to welcome Westmorland and their gorgeous soft furnishings into the Harvey George home”.
Dominique Heaton of Westmorland said:
“It’s lovely to still be part of the Harrogate retail story at the lovely new Harvey George space!”
