Clair de Lune continue to design and manufacture quality nursery bedding and nursery accessories after 75 years of business. ... Here’s how it began: Harry Clarence Rodgers, grandfather of current MD John Rodgers originally formed the company back in 1943 as a source of employment for his son Dawson who was returning from active duty during the Second World War whilst stationed in Cairo. To differentiate between the family name and that of his son Dawson, the company was registered using the combination of the family surname and son Dawson’s christian name, and so Dawson Rodgers Ltd was formed. Dawson’s son John, now the current MD joined the business in 1964 as the 3rd generation and has continued the family tradition of producing quality products to the highest standards of workmanship. In 1986 having produced ‘own brand’ to so many of its customers, John Rodgers decided that the launch of its own corporate brand was long overdue and so ‘Clair de Lune’ was born. The company continues to manufacture a number of products mostly aligned to the nursery trade, at their south Manchester factory where they employ a highly skilled workforce of around 45 personnel including John’s son Guy, the 4th generation. With a team of talented, dedicated British designers, Clair de Lune produce beautiful bedding collections, sheets and blankets and a range of pushchair and car seat accessories designed for the modern parents of today. read more
