Controlled converting

摘要

In 2000 the French company Chargeurs took a controlling interest in the Drummond Group, and almost immediately weaving director Jim Taylor began negotiations for an MBO of Drummond's weaving division. Now re-named the Heritage Textile Company Limited, strong and continuous growth has seen the Bradford-based commission weaver establish itself as a major international supplier - one which prides itself on the long-term relationships and close rapport it has with its customers. Currently employing 105 people and producing 70,000 metres of fabric per week on 51 looms, the company converts wool and wool mixtures into greige fabric for the Drummond Group - still an important customer - plus an impressive list of purchasers both in the UK and overseas. According to Jim Taylor; now owner and managing director, the company aims to be best-in-class and is committed to consistent investment across all areas of the business.
