UK: Textiles Lead In Bio-tech Revolution
Of the five prizes offered by the Department of Trade and Industry sponsored Bio-Wise organisation, two of the largest awards went to long established UK textile firms. The awards presented to the winners by Science Minister Lord Sainsbury at Bio-Wise's annual conference went respectively to Yorkshire based spinner Thomas Chadwick and to Treforest Textiles which is a specialist fabric printer operating out of Pontypridd in South Wales.
