Speaking about the visit, where Alison saw bears in the process of being made by adults with disabilities, she said:
"The workroom is airy and light with a friendly welcoming atmosphere. The staff and adult workers are united in achieving a very high quality product.
"The bears, which come in a large range of colours and sizes, are made completely from scratch out of mohair, with every worker having an important job to do.
"The bears, which can also be personalised, have been shipped to all four corners of the globe, with special editions such as the Christmas 09 bear, of which only 25 have been made, proving to be very popular with collectors.
"There is great pride among the workforce at Glendaveny, and so there should be."
