Established in 1985, we have grown from a modest three-person operation into a successful, environmentally conscious business, employing over 170 staff across two sites and with export partners. Our founders and partners now work alongside their son and daughter, who are the third generation to enter the industry. The seeds of our company were first sown when our founder was working for his father, and they came up with the unlikely business idea of recycling docking ropes from London dockyards. As times changed so did the business. It moved from dock ropes to buying clothes and textiles. Our founder soon saw that old rags could potentially have new value, and with the advent of the affluent eighties people were no longer throwing out clothes because they were old and tatty but because they were out of fashion. Most importantly these clothes could be reused. In 1985, we decided to make good use of this hard-earned knowledge and set up a business concentrating on collecting and sorting clothes for reuse - our company was then born. We reuse and recycle virtually every kind of textile, from t-shirts to saris to school uniforms, shoes, trainers, football kits, hats, belts, jackets. The list is endless. And if you have any household textiles to donate such as towels, bed sheets or curtains, tweeds, shetlands, lambwools these can also be reused.
