Tony said that, along with his fellow guests, “representing Lancashire and Lancashire manufacturing, was a very proud moment.” He elaborated: “Letting the world know just how well Lancashire makes many, many things brilliantly well, is a labour of love for all three of us. The good wine and exceptional food was a definite bonus as well.”
