Mission and Scope

The Weaving Group is a unique organisation in textiles. It exists to serve the interests of its members and the industries in which they work.

The Weaving Group has corporate and individual members. The membership covers all disciplines in weaving and other associated industries.

Within the weaving and associated industries the aim of The Weaving Group is to facilitate learning and to disseminate information.

In pursuit of this aim The Weaving Group engages in the following activities:

 

  • Organisation of conferences, exhibitions and seminars
  • Organisation of industry study tours
  • Web based links to the latest technological advancements in machinery, raw materials, fabrics etc.
  • Provision of business information
  • Recruitment

If it is technical, topical or innovative, then we can update your knowledge if you are a member of The Weaving Group.

The Weaving Group works closely with weavers, machine makers, universities and other associated industries to update your knowledge. It encourages open discussion, both formal and informal, in the exchange of information at all its events.

In an ever contracting industry, whether weaving the finest natural fibres or synthetics, The Weaving Group is the only organisation to bring us together.

The commitment of The Weaving Group’s Management and Executive committees is to provide the growing membership with excellent service, good value and democratic participation in an organisation that is totally dedicated to textiles and in particular the weaving sector.
