Brompton
Brompton designer Andrew Ritchie Honoured by the Duke of Edinburgh
They said it'd never work when it was launched, but 33 years after the company was founded Brompton is the biggest bike manufacturer in the UK, knocking out 22,000 bikes a year of which 70% are exported around the world. And to mark that achievement Andrew Ritchie, founder inventor of the Brompton, has been awarded the Prince Philip Designers Prize, awarded annually to recognize a lifetime contribution to design. His Royal Highness made the award at a reception held last night at Buckingham Palace to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Prize.
