Calling all Overlookers
Do you want to work for a company with deep roots in the textile industry? Our client has evolved over generations to become a leading producer of premium worsted fabrics.
Initially a commission weaving business established in 1969, its legacy traces back to a family tradition of textile manufacturing, beginning with a renowned wool and wool-blend suiting producer founded in 1913. Located in the historic textile hub of Keighley, which was once home to over 50 mills, the company built a reputation on quality, adapting to market changes by focusing on producing luxury fabrics for prestigious global brands.
Today, it boasts one of the most advanced weaving plants in Europe, but it’s the dedication of its skilled workforce that truly drives success. Their commitment to quality, coupled with innovation and tradition, cements its status as a world leader in luxury fabric manufacturing.
