Help shape the future of British textiles: join us at our AGM

Our Annual General Meeting and Members’ Meeting takes place on Thursday 26th November at the Textile Centre of Excellence in Huddersfield. It’s your chance to hear what TCoE has achieved over the past year, meet the team, and have a direct say in where we go next.

As an industry-owned, not-for-profit organisation, TCoE exists for the sector and is led by it. That means the priorities we set should come from our members. This meeting is where that happens.

What’s on

  • 12.00pm – 1.00pm (optional): Complimentary lunch and networking with leaders from across the sector
  • 1.00pm – 3.00pm: AGM, followed by the Members’ Meeting

The agenda and any supporting papers will be shared with members the week before the meeting.

Venue: Textile Centre of Excellence, Huddersfield. The meeting is in person only.

Why your voice matters

The formal AGM business is followed by the Members’ Meeting: an open discussion about the challenges and opportunities facing British textiles and advanced manufacturing. We want to hear from you on:

  • The future of UK textile manufacturing
  • AI and new technology on the factory floor
  • Apprenticeships and building the next generation of talent
  • Skills training for your existing workforce
  • What more TCoE should be doing to support your business

What you tell us will directly inform our priorities for the year ahead.

Bring your colleagues

Each member company can send up to three people, so please forward the invitation to colleagues who should be in the room. It’s a strong opportunity for senior-level networking, sharing insight across the industry, and making sure your company’s perspective is heard.
