Our CEO Mel Close and team were invited from a select few to join the King as he visited Samlesbury Hall last week.
He met with a range of Charities, Business Leaders and local press to visit the area, including local business Butlers Cheeses and sampled the Samlesbury Hall volunteers’ offerings as he sat down for Earl Grey tea with honey and local made fruitcake.
Check out our range of photos from the event, with alt descriptions, as well as our friends at Blog Prestons blog about the event too here.
