International training manager Erik Holznienkemper led the tour, which offered a look around the Laufen showroom and a chance to get ‘hands-on’ with the manufacturing process.

Neil Curtis, senior designer at Ripples, said: “I personally found the craftsmanship that goes into the ceramic and brassware production fascinating. The tours were really interesting and provide a valuable source of information. The visit to Laufen allows me to develop my understanding of the brand.”
