textile training groupThe aims of the textile training group are tosupport the training needs of the industry: beit manufacturing, industrial, technical orscientific on the one hand; and fashion,clothing and design on the other.

The group operates in a number of differentmodes and at different levels to cover diverseneed. These are detailed in this brochure.

Academic courses in textile technology andscience in the UK have dwindled over theyears, thus leaving a huge knowledge gap inthis industry.

This is where the textile training group fulfilsthe need by combining academic, industrialtextile and business experts who can fill thisknowledge gap.

Textiles are an immensely complex area andThe University of Leeds, with its network oftextile experts, has brought together a widerange of courses that will help to fill this need.

short coursesOur large folio of courses is carried out on arepeating basis throughout the academicyear.

The wide range of courses offered is designedto provide training of from one to five days induration depending on the subjects covered.These are prepared courses, where thecontent for each course is detailed in thisbrochure.

in-company trainingA number of companies prefer to commissionin-house training programmes designedspecifically for each client and held at eithertheir own premises or their own selectedvenue. The benefits of this are:

- cost effectiveness, especially where there is a need to train a number of employees at the same time

- sensitive information remainsconfidential

- course programme tailored to company requirement

those who will benefitOver the years, many national andinternational companies, including largecorporate companies, have benefitted fromsending personnel on our courses. Themilitary and civil services are also regularattendees.

Anyone involved in manufacturing, sourcingand selection, merchandising, retail or buyingwill benefit enormously from our courses.Personnel from schools and colleges alsoattend.

The Nonwovens Network was established in1997. The initiative came from Industry, whoaired the view that as there was no official UKbody or association for them to refer to andgenerally ‘get to know’ each other.

The Network, now in its 17th year, has over200 members and has held severalsuccessful seminars and dinners, all attendedby well over 100 members, their guests andassociates.

For further details of membership, please seepage 23.

The RITE Group is the industry associationwhich aims to provide advice and fact basedinformation to reduce/minimise the negativeenvironmental impact of the production, useand disposal of textiles and apparel.

The Group's ultimate goal is to drive forwardthe sustainable and ethical production oftextiles and clothing throughout the globalsupply chain through a number of innovativeinitiatives.

The Network was established in 1997, jointlyby the British Textile Technology Group, theUniversity of Leeds and Nonwovens ReportInternational. The initiative came from Industry, who airedthe view that as there was no official body orassociation for them to refer to, the Industryhad no means by which they could meet up,discuss ideas and generally ‘get to know’each other.Hence the Nonwovens Network, became a‘loose association of like-minded people whowould meet together twice a year at anannual dinner and annual seminar’. The Network has over 200 members and hasheld several successful seminars anddinners, all attended by well over 100members, their guests and associates.

17th annual dinner

Thursday 5th December 2013The dinner is being held at the usual venueof the Holiday Inn, junction 25 M62 atBrighouse, West Yorkshire.The dinner is free to all members of thenonwovens network who have paid theirannual subscription of £50.00.Members are welcome to invite guests to thedinner and will be charged accordingly.
