“We're delighted to see several recent graduates of the Loughborough Textiles programme again be recognised in the Bradford Design Competition winners and commendations. This success is the result of consistent hard work over the past few years by academic and technical staff in the programme, but mostly, of course, by the students themselves. They should be immensely proud of their achievements, especially during a year like the one we just had.”
