EAST Yorkshire milliners What A Hat have been commissioned by the Stobart Group to design a Stobart-inspired couture hat for Ladies Day at Royal Ascot.

The business said it would be an elegant interpretation of the Stobart brand, well known for its iconic lorries.

What A Hat owner Sharon Watts said: “This is the first time we’ve had a couture client of this nature. We have been working at a high pace this year with demand for the royal wedding sparking off what is proving to be a bumper season.”
