"We are extremely grateful to the Cotton Industry War Memorial Trust for providing the funding for such a high-quality facility, and for their continued support of the University and its students."

Speaking about his recent appointment at the University of Manchester, Nigel Cabourn said: "I am really looking forward to it. I have always had a fantastic interest in fabrics, which has developed over the years."

"Working with young people is something that I really enjoy. I have been employing young people for the last 25 years and that's very important to me. I'm a real believer in putting something back into society."

"When the University asked me to come on board and get involved, it was a great honour. I'm very excited about the project. I believe it will be a good marriage and there will be huge benefits for myself and the students." "The University has some great facilities and I believe we can achieve something quite special together."

During his career, Nigel Cabourn has worked with Next, Ted Baker and Paul Smith, among many others. He is currently part of the Designers at Debenhams collective.
