Yorkshire Textiles welcomes Historic England’s plans to help us by bringing more empty textile mills back into use across West Yorkshire.
These wonderful buildings have been shown to be very versatile. Many successful existing projects in the region show that they can be used not only to sustain modern textile related companies and activities, but also for a wide variety of other uses, from high tech and light engineering companies to the arts, sports and housing.

The Yorkshire Textiles umbrella was initiated by Leeds Fashion Works, whose founder members are :-
Suzy Shepherd
Carolyn Lord
Paul Forbes OBE
Andew Homer
It is the imbued excellence, the quality of the products and specialist skills that have led to the utilisation of Yorkshire Textiles by global brands. The sector in the Leeds City Region can build further on the connections between Yorkshire Textiles and internationally renowned fashion houses.
