Dash & Miller and The Bristol Weaving Mill Partner with Sudbury Silk Mills

Strengthening UK Textiles Through Collaboration

Dash & Miller and The Bristol Weaving Mill, both founded by QEST Scholars Franki Brewer and Juliet Bailey, have announced an exciting strategic partnership with Sudbury Silk Mills. By combining their expertise in innovative textile design and research with Sudbury’s deep heritage in jacquard weaving, the partnership seeks to create a more sustainable and forward-thinking future for UK textiles.

Innovation in Craft Meets Heritage

Dash & Miller is renowned for blending traditional weaving with cutting-edge technology and a strong focus on sustainable textiles and traceable supply chains. Meanwhile, The Bristol Weaving Mill, a micro weaving facility, is celebrated for its bespoke services, championing native fibres and circular textile systems.

Sudbury Silk Mills, with its rich history of jacquard weaving, brings a deep understanding of quality craftsmanship. They work alongside Stephen Walters, David Walters, and Humphries Weaving to meet the demands of their discerning clientele.

Shared Vision, Unique Strengths: Stronger Together

This collaboration unites the complementary strengths of all three businesses. Dash & Miller and The Bristol Weaving Mill’s commitment to sustainable innovation, paired with Sudbury Silk Mills’ legacy in high-quality jacquard weaving, marks a significant step forward for the UK textile industry.

Though working together, each business will remain independent, focusing on their own specialities and clients, while pushing the boundaries of responsible manufacturing and craftsmanship.

This partnership signals an exciting chapter for UK textiles as these companies combine forces to innovate and strengthen the industry’s future.
