The Princess Royal Pays a Visit to the Loadhog Factory

Today, Loadhog, one of the UK’s most innovative manufacturers of reusable packaging, was thrilled to welcome Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal to its factory in Sheffield. The visit highlighted Loadhog’s cutting-edge work in sustainable manufacturing and its role in helping businesses reduce waste.

During her visit, The Princess Royal took a guided tour of Loadhog’s facility, where she saw the team in action, producing smart, sustainable packaging solutions that help replace single-use plastics. Her Royal Highness showed great interest in the company’s approach to reducing environmental impact, particularly how they’ve integrated closed-loop manufacturing practices – reusing materials to minimise waste at every step.

The Princess Royal took time to meet and chat with members of the Loadhog team, from engineers and production staff to apprentices. She expressed admiration for their work, commenting on how important companies like Loadhog are in leading the charge for greener, more sustainable industries.

Shaun Khan, Managing Director of Loadhog, said:
“It was an absolute honour to host The Princess Royal at our factory today. Her genuine interest in sustainability was wonderful to see, and we were proud to show her how we’re making a real difference in reducing waste through innovation. It’s a big boost for the team to have our efforts recognised at such a high level.”

The visit wrapped up with The Princess Royal unveiling a commemorative plaque to mark the occasion, a proud moment for everyone at Loadhog.
