Colin founded The Senator Group in 1976, from humble beginnings in a small village in Lancashire, it has grown into one of the largest contract furniture manufacturers in the world. Since the beginning, Colin has led the company with a strong sense of responsibility for the community, the environment and The Senator Group’s valued people. He is the driving force behind the recent revival of The Royal Lancashire Show, a prestigious agricultural event with its origins dating back to the 18th century. Now held on the land surrounding Colin’s house, the show is also the venue of The Senator Group’s annual employee family fun day.
