“Our objective in all of this is to maintain a business structure which continues to deliver for all of our stakeholders while retaining the valuable AWS assets and investment in the Australian wool industry,” he explained.
“The Woolmark particularly represents more than 40 years of woolgrower investment, licensee and industry support, consumer recognition and credibility. It is as powerful and relevant as it has ever been.”
“The feedback I got at IWTO was that nobody wants to lose the services AWS offers, especially the iconic Woolmark brand,” he said.
“We received full support from the IWTO including their President, Michael Lempriere. Our course of action is clear - when I get back to Australia, we will pursue the integration with AWI and hope that, for the benefit of woolgrowers, our Woolmark licencees and industry participants at all levels of the pipeline, we can solve the immediate issue of the UK Pension Scheme we face and look to a future which protects and capitalises on our valuable assets.”
AWS specialises in the commercialisation of wool technologies and innovations, technical consulting, business information and commercial testing of wool fabrics.
