On Saturday, Neil Parish MP visited Axminster Carpets in his constituency.  

The historic Axminster company and Royal Warrant holder is under new ownership, trading throughout Covid-19. 

Neil, on his visit, talked about the situation facing British wool and farmers who have been struggling to sell wool since the market closed. Axminster carpets are looking to buy wool direct from farmers, to help make their quality carpets and help local farmers. They can be contacted on 01297630689, or farmers@axminster-carpets.co.uk. 

Neil has also written to the Defra Secretary, George Eustice, to ensure the Government is aware of the situation facing the wool market and doing all it can to support the industry throughout Covid-19.
