Holland & Holland and the QEST Scholars
“Holland & Holland are proud to be supporting the Queen Elizabeth Scholarship Trust (QEST) by inviting a selection of their scholars to show their work in the flagship store. QEST, the charitable arm of the Royal Warrant Holders Association, was established in 1990 to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Association and the 90th birthday of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother. The Trustees look for well thought out projects, which will contribute to the pool of talent in the UK and reflect the excellence of British Craftsmanship as symbolised by the Royal Warrant of Appointment.
From November 8th, the work of the craftspeople will be on display in Holland & Holland’s Bruton Street store to give them as much exposure as possible. Visit the showroom to acquire unique and affordable British-made crafts.
