Nonwoven fabrics having reached a high state of technical development are also important to the region’s economy and are increasingly studied and researched at the University. Huddersfield and its University have a long tradition of excellence in woven textiles. Dr Hewitt’s technical textiles background means that he will develop courses in this subject area at the University of Huddersfield’s Department of Fashion and Textiles.
