AW Hainsworth & Sons, Ltd., formerly known as Abimelech Hainsworth is an English textile manufacturing company based in Pudsey, West Yorkshire. It is known for producing heavily milled wool fabrics such as melton and doeskin,[1]: 153  and supplying these to the British Army, most notably for the red coats worn ceremonially by certain British Army units, especially the Grenadier Guards, for whom Hainsworth is the exclusive supplier of scarlet wool cloth for tunics, navy blue for trousers, and grey for winter greatcoats.[2]

Products

The company holds a Royal Warrant of Appointment.[3] Charles, Prince of Wales and Prince William, Duke of Cambridge wore garments of Hainsworth cloth at their weddings. Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh was buried in a coffin made of Hainsworth wool. Prince Philip reportedly once asked Thomas Hainsworth what business he was in, and was told "textiles," to which the prince replied "Oh yes, a dying industry, isn't it?" In 2010, speaking a sustainability conference, Prince Charles joked “I have discovered a company that makes a woollen coffin — coffins, ladies and gentlemen, to die for."[4]

Hainsworth makes fabric for the clothing industry, academic dress, for fire-retardant personal protective equipment, automobile, upholstery, bakery conveyor belting, historical re-enactment, baize for billiard tables and the casino industry, and for costume and staging.[5]

History

The firm was founded as a clothing business in 1783 by 14 year old Abimelech Hainsworth, later known as "Old Bim".[5] In 1900, the founder's grandson, with the same name, was running the mill when he suffered a head injury in an industrial accident and was treated at the Leeds General Infirmary, spending twelve weeks in the hospital's care. In 1909, Hainsworth's wife donated the equivalent of £60,000 to the hospital which is commemorated by a brass plaque. The plaque was placed in storage and lost until its re-discovery in 2017. The plaque was presented to Adam Hainsworth, a descendant of the original benefactors, in 2021.[6]

The firm was run by descendant Thomas Hainsworth, marking the seventh generation of the family involvement, until 2021 when Hainsworth announced he would step down as director of the technical and transport interiors divisions in October, in favour of sales director Diane Simpson. Hainsworth retains an oversight role on the Family Council, which he helped to create in 2018.[7][8] After reaching an early twenty-first century nadir, the British wool industry has seen increased demand for its product. Thomas Hainsworth said the firm has learned from past mistakes, and that shareholders have told him to focus on reinvesting in equipment to remain competitive, instead of taking profits out of the business.[9]: 1
