Dealing with the curing, sizing and packing of cloth to be sent to fashion houses. They also supply the Military all across the world and the Royal Family - just to name drop.

Recovery Runners is a voluntary organisation.

It was set up in 2021 by Dean Smith and Jamie Heselden as a community group for people dealing with addiction, mental health problems, illness and more. Dean and Jamie have won multiple community awards for their efforts.

They meet weekly and go for runs and walks of various distances at whatever pace suits the individuals. Running can help bust stress, aid emotional processing and improve sleep – all of which are linked to better mental health.
