We were honoured to attend the Royal Warrant Holders Luncheon yesterday and proud to be part of such an inspiring occasion as a Royal Warrant Holder✨

The event featured insightful speeches from Roger Stephenson, National President of the Royal Warrant Holders Association and Grantee of James Lock & Co.; Lisa Montague, Chair of QEST; and Robert Hardman, author of Elizabeth II: In Private. In Public. The Inside Story, whose reflections offered a compelling perspective on service, duty, and the enduring legacy of Her Late Majesty. We are also proud to support emerging talent through our partnership with QEST, with Enikő Leányvári currently representing DBR as the latest DBR Limited scholar in collaboration with QEST.

We were delighted to host guests from across the property, heritage, and cultural sectors, making for a memorable afternoon of conversation and connection.

Events such as these are a valuable reminder of the importance of preserving traditional skills, championing quality, and celebrating the organisations and individuals who continue to uphold the standards represented by the Royal Warrant.

Thank you to the organisers and everyone who attended for such an enjoyable and inspiring event ✨

Work continues to progress at the Victoria and Albert Museum, with restoration activity moving steadily across the roofs as part of this important conservation programme.

Across the site, the team is making strong headway, addressing legacy issues and carrying out carefully considered repairs to support the long‑term performance of the building, while respecting its historic fabric.

What an inspiring week celebrating across two very special locations, Broadwater Farm Estate and the Palace of Westminster.

At Broadwater Farm, we were delighted to bring craft directly into the heart of the community. With Enikő Leányvári (), DBR–QEST scholar and mosaic artist, leading an engaging workshop and talk, participants experienced first-hand the skill, patience and creativity that underpin this time-honoured craft and the wider world of conservation.

Later in the week, we were proud to continue the celebration at the Palace of Westminster, where we showcased our encaustic tile project. It was a fantastic opportunity to share the story behind the work, with DBR’s Rory Smith, who worked on the projects, offering valuable insights into the process and craftsmanship involved, alongside our Executive Director and Chairman, Adrian, who highlighted its wider significance. A sincere thank you to the Palace team for hosting and supporting the event.

A huge thank you to Haringey Council for their support at Broadwater Farm, and to everyone who joined us across both events, your enthusiasm and engagement made the week truly memorable. Moments like these show how craft connects people, places and stories in meaningful ways, from local communities to iconic national landmarks.

And of course, special recognition goes to our brilliant DBR Conservation team at Broadwater Farm Estate, whose passion and dedication made it all possible.

A special mention to DBR’s Marketing Assistant, Pari, whose coordination, creativity and behind-the-scenes work helped bring both events to life so seamlessly.

We’re proud to be part of a week that celebrates not just craftsmanship, but the people and stories that keep it alive.

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of a much-loved member of the DBR family, Winston Bogle.

Winston was a valued and dedicated part of our team for 20 years. During his time with us, he made a lasting impact, not only through his work, but through the relationships he built and the respect he earned from colleagues across the business.

Over the years, we came to know and appreciate so much about Winston, his character, his commitment, and the immense value he brought to DBR. He will be remembered not only for his professional contributions but also for the warmth and presence he brought to those around him.

Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of working with him during this difficult time.

He will be greatly missed.
