The Princess Royal is a former Olympic horsewoman, and a sculpture of a horse, constructed from hip and knee orthopaedic implants, was designed and presented by Corin employee and artist Neil Herbert.

Following a tour of the facility, meeting with Corin’s diverse team, Her Royal Highness declared the facility open and unveiled a plaque to commemorate her visit.
