Clothes firm heads for


export final


A CLITHEROE couple’s clothing company is on the brink of stitching up first p l a c e in an ex p or t competition.


Ross were yesterday due to travel to London to see if their Earby-based children’s clothing company, BHR Clothing Co. Ltd, would win the top award in the British Apparel Export Awards.


Mr Brian Ross and Mrs Janet


was due to present the awards during the ceremony at the Royal Lancaster Hotel, which was to be attended by many of the big names in the British fashion industry.

just pleased to have been entered in the competition. That is an accolade in itself.” The competition looks at the compa­


ny’s export achievement and, as exports account for around 50% of BHR Clothing’s sales, it would seem the Clitheroe couple could have plenty to celebrate. Trading for six years, BHR Clothing


exports all over the world, from America to the Middle East, and this is in addition to its healthy domestic market. Mr Ross designs the high-quality


classic and casual children’s wear and the clothes are then produced in fac­ tories around the world. The husband and wife team, who live


on Green Drive, started the firm in Clitheroe. It later moved to Gisburn and, due to continued success and expansion, relocated to a new factory and showroom in Earby. Despite these moves, the original


staff, who are mainly from the Ribble Valley, are still with the company. Mrs Ross believes this has been the


key to the company’s success. She said: “They have been with us all the way. It has been a team effort which has got us to the final.”
