Grenfell in the Nineties

The Connection is Now Broken

The Haythornthwaite Family are no longer connected with the Grenfell brand or company.


The family company was bought out by a Japanese Cashmere spinning company in 1991 and in June 2002 the company became a subsidiary of Aspirations Holdings Ltd under foreign ownership.

Shown below are some of the garments, made whilst the company was still family owned.

I will not pass on the location of the present day company for personal reasons.
