Networking opportunities
Sector forums
Anyone working in the textiles industry in Scotland can join one of four sector forums covering:
- knitwear;
- weaving;
- apparel; or
- technical.
The forums meet regularly and feed their views into a national textile forum, which in turn advises the Government.
The National Forum has a core membership of ten people. They come from different sectors of the industry and other bodies with a direct interest in the textile industry, including us.
To join one of our sector groups or obtain copies of minutes from past meetings, contact the Scottish Textiles team.
