Known professionally as David Linley, David is probably better known to the public as the Earl of Snowdon, the son of Princess Margaret and Anthony Armstrong-Jones (Lord Snowdon), and the cousin of King Charles lll.
David trained under John Makepeace on leaving school and, naturally talented, he established Linley Furniture in 1985, producing the highest quality furniture and bespoke installations for the high end luxury market. The business continues to trade nationally and internationally today. Whilst his HQ is in London, what is less well known is that his production workshop is on the outskirts of Whitby, North Yorkshire, now operated and owned by his long time associate and friend Mark Asplin Whiteley. David has for many years admired and been appreciative of the skill set in the area and all the ‘Yorkshire Critters’ workshops based in North Yorkshire.
