Bryn not only brings a wealth of experience in doing that but his approach to managing the customer experience is formidable and will be central to our development.”
Bryn will also head global sales for the Yulan Textile Group, the parent company of Pegasus Textiles. Yulan specialise in yarn dyed fabrics producing over 150 million metres of fabric a year for customers across the globe.

Pegasus Textiles has already signed off on a £5m warehouse facility in Leeds, where it intends to manage the largest stockholding of uniforms and linens in the UK.
