Haworth Scouring, Combing Get ISO Certification

Bradford, England, June 16, 2010--Haworth Scouring Company Ltd (HSC) and Haworth Combing Company Ltd (HCC), the  largest wool processing operations of their kind in the world, have recently been awarded ISO accreditations.
 
The Bradford based companies, now owned entirely by Curtis Wool Direct, are world leaders in the scouring and combing of British and other origin wools.

David Gisbourne was appointed managing director of HSC and HCC in 2008 and one of his first tasks was to undertake a full review of their management systems and operating procedures. New working practices and increased efficiencies were essential in order to guide the companies through the recession.
 
It was decided to implement a formal quality management system under the internationally recognised ISO9001:2008 and an environmental management systems under ISO14001:2004.
 
It is another stage in the development of the CWD Group, which intends to become the market leader in the supply of UK scoured wool and combed tops.
