Andrew and Nicola Forrest flag RM Williams factory expansion, push for 100pc Australian-made products
The owners of iconic bootmaker RM Williams, Andrew and Nicola Forrest, say they are looking at expanding its factory in Adelaide’s northern suburbs and ensuring all products are Australian made.
Key points:
- Andrew and Nicola Forrest bought the bootmaker late last year
- Ms Forrest says she believes the Salisbury RM Williams factory is too small
- The couple plan to ensure all of the brand’s products are made in Australia
Today the couple visited the Salisbury factory for the first time since purchasing the brand in October last year, returning it to Australian ownership.
Bushman Reginald Murray Williams founded RM Williams 88 years ago.
The company was sold offshore to LVMH Group, which owns French luxury brands such as Louis Vuitton, in 2013.
