The UK’s largest bespoke bathroom vanity unit manufacturer has won the right to use the coveted Made in Britain logo.
Harvey George, which is based on Hookstone Park in Harrogate, went through an exhaustive authentication process to achieve the distinction, which is administered by the Made in Britain not-for-profit organisation.
The company’s application to use the familiar red-white-and-blue logo was approved because all its products are made here in Yorkshire.
Sophie Griffiths, Finance Director, said:
“We’re absolutely delighted that we can now use the Made in Britain mark. It’s internationally recognised and helps customers identify products made here in the UK. In a market awash with imports, this really sets us apart as a great British manufacturer.”
Harvey George makes all its bathroom vanity units to order at its Hull factory, and its range can be seen in its 10,000 sq ft showroom on Hookstone Park.
Harvey George’s showroom can be found on Hookstone Park, off Leeds Road in Harrogate.
The firm offers 15 designs, and customers also specify the size, the drawer front, the handles, and what kind of sink they want – single or twin, sit-on or undermount – from a selection of luxury brands, including Hendel & Hendel and House of Rohl. They come in 16 basic colours, but Harvey George can match them to any paint a customer may already have.
Harvey George’s professionals can work with customers to find the perfect combination of options and turn them into beautiful designs and stunning finished products.
The lead time is six weeks, but for a small express fee that can be halved.

Andy Grice, Showroom Manager, said:
“What makes Harvey George different is that we cut out the middle-man. We don’t buy these units from anyone else – we make them individually for each of our customers. Anything you can imagine, we can make.
“We’ve compared prices and we’ve found we’re between 10 and 30% cheaper than our competitors, and typically also have a shorter lead time.
“We’re also very efficient. Even the pieces of wood we cut out of the vanity unit tops are made into chopping boards!”
