A Christmas card with 350 years of history behind it

To celebrate the 350th anniversary of the Coachmakers, the Company has designed a limited edition Christmas card inspired by the romance and heritage of coaching.
The design features the Quicksilver Mail Coach, restored and driven by our Master Coachmaker, Mark Broadbent, on behalf of its proud owner, Freeman Portia Kennaway. Originally photographed whilst Mark was competing at Royal Windsor Horse Show, the image has been given a seasonal makeover with a little digital magic.
The bucolic sight of a coach and four in a snowy landscape has been a British Christmas favourite since Victorian times. Our card celebrates the historic craft of coachbuilding and the enduring art of driving four-in-hand.
Ten premium A5 cards plus envelopes costs just £7.50, and will be available at Company events, including the Aerospace Industry Dinner on 24th November. Postal delivery is available for an additional £2.50.
