In May 2025, we were honoured to receive the King’s Award for Enterprise, for our work on sustainable textile production. The King’s Award for Enterprise recognises outstanding UK businesses and is the most prestigious business award in the country.
The sustainable development category demonstrates a company’s commitment to conducting business in a way that benefits the environment, society, and the economy, and have achieved outstanding sustainable development practices over at least two years. We are proud to be recognised for pioneering sustainable development in our industry and wider community.
We recognise the fashion industry’s impact on our planet, and we want to be a positive force for change. We’re committed to more than just meeting industry sustainability standards—we aim to set the bar higher. As the first UK mill to earn the Oeko-Tex STeP certification, we take pride in our forward-thinking approach and dedication to environmental and ethical excellence. Our sustainability efforts focus on four main pillars: Products, Processes, Environment, and Social Responsibility.
Our raw materials are carefully selected, and our supply chain is managed to offer great diversity, quality and performance of the range of products we can produce, while minimising the impact on the environment.
We weave fabrics to order, reducing waste and only produce what is needed.
With a ‘right first-time’ approach, we aim to minimise waste, and optimise energy use at every stage from product development to dyeing, weaving, and finishing.
We believe in a responsible approach to product development, manufacturing, material supply and transportation – for example through reduced energy consumption, improved resource conservation and minimising our waste, carbon and water footprints.
We are committed to human rights and ethical best practices and act fairly in our dealings with our team, our customers, suppliers and business partners. We maintain consistently high ethical standards, while recognising that our business operates in markets and countries with cultural differences and practices.
