A Loafer for life
Meet Roy. Seventy-six years young, he cuts the fabric that adorns our beautiful beds up in Long Eaton in Derbyshire.
Amid the machinists who sew at a rate of knots and the chaps who sand down sofa legs to their exact measurements by sight alone, it's pretty hard to stand out in Long Eaton. But after fifty-four years of cutting fabric, it's safe to say that Roy's the best in the biz.
He actually gave retirement a whirl about ten years ago but missed making beds so much that he came back to work! In our book that's the very definition of a Loafer for Life.
Roy, we salute you!
Love,
Charlie & the Loafers x
PS Congratulations to Vicky, winner of our Birds & Bees competition!
