And we share a few more here, featuring a few faces working in the factory, and enjoying staff events.

Granby Garments turned out quality lingerie and nightgowns for High Street giant M&S for many years, with a very healthy order book.

It was part of the Courtaulds Organisation, with factories on the Wrexham Industrial Estate and in Rhos.
