Woolroom, UK’s leading wool bedding specialist has been honoured with a Queen’s Award for Enterprise for International Trade.
This prestigious Queen’s Award for Enterprise is awarded for its excellence in International Trade on Thursday 29 April.
Employing 25 people, Woolroom was founded in 2008 by Jo Dawson, a fourth generation of a Bradford wool merchant family and is a specialist homewares retailer which utilises the amazing qualities of wool at the heart of all its products. Spawned out of a business with 150 years of knowledge in selecting the right wool for the right use, Woolroom has developed a reputation for being the go-to retailer for enabling a better night’s ‘clean sleep’, owing to its temperature regulating and chemical free properties.
Woolroom joined the thousands of businesses that had shoppers back in their stores again. Customers are able to trace the wool used in their bedding back to the farms the sheep are from with a focus on sustainable consumption ever-increasing. Chris Tattersall, Managing Director of Woolroom said: “We’re delighted to be welcoming back our customers into our store in Marlow. The safety and wellbeing of our colleagues is of the upmost importance and in line with Government guidelines we have social distancing measures and up-weighted health & safety measures to ensure everyone feels safe while visiting us.” The store is still putting in place extensive safety measures as it reopens for the well-being of its staff and customers.

While electrification has a first-mover advantage in certain areas (e.g., light-duty vehicles), hydrogen is seen as particularly viable in “hard-to-decarbonize” sectors such as heavy-duty transportation, which requires fuel supply for substantial distance and payloads.
These trends are still nascent. There has long been a small hydrogen market, primarily for industrial applications;
