Isn't it interesting how one thing leads to another, my previous post was about what we put down the kitchen sink.
This post is about the sink manufacturer, Shaws of Darwen who has been bought out by its management team, saving over 70 jobs. Shaws have been manufacturing handcrafted sinks and architectural terracotta since 1897. Shaws were bought by Qualceram in 2000.
We first came across Shaws of Darwen a couple of years ago at an industry trade show. We were impressed by the quality of their products and attention to detail. Each sink carries its own distinctive badge and is proudly signed with the impression of its own maker.
Shaws is one of Darwen's oldest firms and even employs some third-generation workers, so not only have the jobs been saved but it is keeping a tradition alive.
Eco Kitchens Online wish them every success.
