With a royal warrant from Queen Elizabeth II awarded in 2008, Peter Reed International has collaborated with a long line of well-respected designers including Giles Deacon and Sally Conran. Their Egyptian cotton linens are stitched by hand in Lancashire using the same meticulous techniques as when they first opened 160 years ago. Peter Reed International's expertise is so highly regarded that the producers of the television and film series Downton Abbey sought their advice on luxury bed linen.

"Peter Reed International had previously worked with a select group of customers, which was inconsistent with their new approach of exploring new luxury markets and expanding their reach. Our strategic advice focused on broadening this reach through a highly targeted approach, engaging luxury department stores and top interior designers to increase brand visibility in crucial markets. This direction has helped define their voice and enhanced their digital strategy to better manage customer relationships and build brand awareness."
