We are extremely proud of the activities that take place
in the factory. We have a work force of 28 ex servicemen, the large
majority of whom are registered disabled, and while we are a commercial
organisation, we are also a charity that provides dignity through work.
Many of our workers have been with us for many years and there is a
palpable feeling of the military about the place that provides a
comfortable and secure atmosphere, for both visitors and workers alike.
We work hard to ensure it remains primarily a happy and productive
place.
As well as the 4.5 million poppies that are handmade each year, we
also produce over 8,000 wreaths to order. We process over 25,000
collection tins and make up and dispatch orders to conveners all over
Scotland. We also make crosses for the Gardens of Remembrance and long
stemmed poppies, for sale to the public via the factory.
I hope this gives you a brief insight to the Lady Haig poppy Factory and
I hope you enjoy the site.
