Miss Wathall (52) was awarded the MBE in the New Year’s Honours list for her services to business and the local community.

She was accompanied to the official investiture by her three children Bec (25), Charlotte (21), Hugo (14) and best friend Melanie Holwell and was delighted when it was announced who would be carrying out the investiture.

The Tor Light

We really love this new Tor light, named after Mam Tor - a hill not far from our  Derbyshire workshop. It means 'Mother Hill' and the chosen colour palette reflects the beautiful landscape of this High Peak ridge. The combination of our Slate Grey, soft Garnet Red and Yellow Ochre balance perfectly and work so well with one of this years' stand out colour ways - dusky blush.
