This landmark day sees my first blog. Why am I doing this? Well, firstly the textile business has been a big part of my life; from working in the leather industry with Pittards, to bespoke shirtmakers Harvie & Hudson in London ( - great shirts!). Secondly I have always been in manufacturing businesses since I started work (Crown Wallcoverings, Wilkinson Sword, Plysu, H.Fine & Son) , and I love the process of conceptualisation, design, prototyping, testing and manufacturing; I am privileged that I visit companies that manufacture all kinds of products. I'm also very happy to be running a business that specialises in textiles and manufactures products (KMA Textiles Ltd).
There are some big issues within the industrial textile industry which are worthy of comment and discussion. So over the next few weeks, months and years, I'll be sharing my experiences and chewing over some of these issues (recycled textiles, the challenges and opportunities of the Far East, technical innovation and its application, the recession as well as items of lighter consequence. All of which hopefully will be of some interest.
