NEW PRESIDENT - Jonathan Dyson
Jonathan Dyson is Head of Content at World Textile Publications Ltd (WTP), based in Bradford, which provides information across the global textile industry through a range of sector-specialist magazines, and a new executive intelligence online platform - World Textile Information Network (www.wtin.com). Mr Dyson is Editor of two WTP publications: Twist - the International Magazine for Luxury Fabrics, Yarns and Fibres; and Future Materials - the world’s leading technical textiles magazine. After joining WTP in September 2006 as a staff writer, Mr Dyson became editor of Wool Record, as Twist was then called, in July 2007. He then revamped the title, changing its name, content and design, resulting in a much broader audience. Advertising sales grew by a staggering 60% in 2008. Prior to joining WTP, Mr Dyson graduated in History and Philosophy at the University of Sheffield in 2000, before working as a freelance journalist, writing for several major newspapers and magazines, including The Times and The Observer. Mr Dyson lives in Leeds, and in his spare time enjoys travelling and watching cricket. Former Textile Mill, Old Lane Halifax Members of the Society will be interested in information from a student at Bradford College, Katy Devereux. Katy has taken inspiration for some work from a former textile mill at Old Lane, Halifax. |
DESIGN COMPETITION The Bradford Textile Society derives the greatest pleasure from
the continuing success of its Prize Schemes, which have
been the source of encouragement and inspiration to textile students
and practising textile designers, and have helped to stimulate
new developments in textile design and construction, and finishing
and printing techniques. Many members are convinced that this
competition, one of the oldest of its kind, is the most important
event in the annual programme.
