New Lanark staff celebrate training success
February 2015
New Lanark Trust has congratulated staff members Scott Glover and Stewart Dickie, of the New Lanark Wool & Textiles Team, on successfully completing their Level 3 SVQ Management course and Level 3 Modern Apprenticeship in Management (in the Business Skills Sector) with the Borders College.
Speaking about his award, Scott said: "I have worked at New Lanark for over 10 years, the last 3 years I have been working within the textile team. I feel privileged to be given the opportunity by New Lanark to further my career by achieving this award. The course has given me the knowledge, understanding and confidence to implement new ideas and procedures into the team which has increased efficiency and productivity".
Stewart added: "I am very pleased to have gained my management qualification, this has given me the skills and the knowledge to manage the textile production area effectively and have the confidence to ensure the future of yarn manufacturing within the World Heritage Site here at New Lanark."
Scott and Stewart work in Mill 3 of the New Lanark Visitor Centre, where members of the public can watch New Lanark Wool being produced on the 19th century spinning mule. The New Lanark Wool & Textiles team specialise in producing high quality British Organic Wool, Aran Wool, Double Knitting and Chunky woollen yarns and was the first wool production unit in Scotland to achieve the Soil Association's organic approval. Accredited by the British Wool Marketing Board, New Lanark Wool is sold in the Mill Shop and online, with all proceeds from wool sales being returned to New Lanark Trust to be reinvested in the care and development of New Lanark World Heritage Site.
