Established for over 40 years, the company recycles second hand clothing for export to Africa, Asia and Eastern Europe and wiping cloths and other recyclable materials for sale mainly in the UK. The rest is processed for resale in the home market as clothing, wiping cloths and for repulling as furniture filling and under-felt. As one of the market leaders in our industry, we offer Textile collection services to local authorities, charities and schools. We pioneered the way to establishing end markets in the developing countries in Africa for good quality second hand clothing. We were one of the first companies involved from the UK, we also began sorting our own Textiles. We are at the forefront of recycling in the UK. Our chairman is the President of the Textile Recycling Association. We were also founder members of Recyclatex, a group of companies formed to ensure a cost effective and reliable recycling service is provided to local authorities.

Established since 1895, we are a family owned group involved in the reclamation, processing and export of fine quality clothing to Africa, Eastern Europe and Asia. We are the largest producer / reclaimer in the UK, top ten in Europe and a major world player. Working closely with Charities, local authorities and waste reclamation companies, we have challenged old ideas and practices and developed new systems in the fields of collection, sorting, marketing and distribution. The state of the art manufacturing unit is ideally positioned in the West Midlands within easy access to the M5 and M6 motorways, Birmingham airport and rail links. The four acres site at provides full transport facilities for our National collection system, 50,000 sq ft of purpose built factory provides ample space for containerisation and to house our robot controlled automatic sorting system.

Established in 1985, we have grown from a modest three-person operation into a successful, environmentally conscious business, employing over 170 staff across four sites and with export partners worldwide. 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, these can also be reused.

We are widely recognised as one of the UK leading processors of second-hand clothing, recyclable textiles and industrial wiping cloths. Our company management has over 30 years experience and fully understands the requirements of all the recognised and developing markets around the world. Product development to suit particular needs is our forte. In 1991 we joined forces in the UK with the Salvation Army and operate as their exclusive agent. With this alliance, they can utilize textile recycling as one of thier many means of fundraising to achieve its missions goals. This partnership resulted in the siting of 1700 clothing banks across the UK, the largest provider in the country, and also the introduction of a door to door collection scheme which visits millions of homes each year. These two collection systems generate hundred of tonnes of donated clothing per week, which are then processed at our sorting and distribution facility in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, England. The 60,000 square foot building, on 3 acres of land, enables us to receive, process, package, warehouse and distribute our products from an excellent logistical position whilst at the same time providing administration accomodation for us.
