UK: Textiles Forward Takes Steps To Help New Firms
A new million pound initiative that aims to "arrest the decline in the region's textiles and clothing manufacturing industry" is being launched in Huddersfield tomorrow. The Textiles Forward scheme, which is supported by regeneration agency Yorkshire Forward and the Regional Innovation Strategy Board for Textiles and Clothing, will provide an incubation unit to nurture fledgling new businesses. It also hopes to launch a one-stop-shop for textiles firms to access advice.
