This recent order includes a mixture of serving boards and whittled items from  its From the Pantry range of traditionally crafted kitchenware.

Tracey Clowes, head of lifestyle at Westmorland Family, said: “We were so excited to discover William and his range of beautiful but still ultimately practical products. We love the fact that he is a local supplier to us in the North West, and his ethos of creating fabulous things with high quality and real attention to detail fitted perfectly with what we were looking for to include in our new pantry departments."

William added:  “It was a complete honour to be asked to supply a business that we as a family have visited many times over the years and admired. "When I received the call that Westmorland Family wanted to stock our work, we were over the moon. We’ve loved preparing the stock for the range , working with the team at Westmorland Family, and we hope the customer s love our work."
