MEET THE TEAM - Sean
Sean first came to us over 11 years ago as a barista in the cafe, got interested in what went on in the mill and now works there, setting up the machines, and beaming off. He was recently elected a trustee director in our new EOT (employee owned trust)
Earlier this year Paolo Carzana was awarded the British Fashion Council’s NEWGEN initiative award to show at London Fashion Week in September. We supported Paolo with fabric when he was a student, so he felt this would be an amazing opportunity to bring Melin Tregwynt into high end fashion with his collection.

MEET THE TEAM - Geoff
Geoff has always been a big part of the Melin Tregwynt team since he joined us over 17 years ago. A man of many talents, he started as a weaver in the mill, working his way up to becoming the manager. You'll see him out and about, as from 2017 he became our site/maintenance manager.

MEET THE TEAM - Katherine
Katherine joined us in 2014, starting work in the cafe and moving to the mill from 2015 onwards. She is a great all-rounder who can prepare a warp, and weave, and complete the paperwork for the finished fabric to go on to the finishers… When she’s not working Katherine is a keen lepidopterist who studies moths and butterflies and has started a survey of butterflies that she’s observed in our new wildflower meadow, here at the mill.

MEET THE TEAM - JAMES
We still weave our cloth in the old whitewashed mill that my grandfather bought in 1912. If he came back to visit us today, he would still recognise the work being done, and the traditional skills of our weavers. Everyone here at the mill has their own story and we thought you'd like to get to know our team a little better. Our second chat is with James our mill manager, but in the months ahead you'll get to meet them all...

the summer has finally arrived, ☀️ and if Melin Tregwynt is on the map for your day out, then we can’t wait to welcome you.
