Under the authority of the TI Council, a number of Medals and Awards are conferred upon individuals and Companies in recognition of their outstanding contribution to the textile industries and/or the work of the Textile Institute itself.

For some time many members and the textile industry have requested the re-introduction of Medals and Awards as part of The Textile Institute programme of activities. It was felt that the Medals and Awards should be revitalised, made relevant for today’s industry, whilst keeping its heritage alive and reintroduced for 2010. The awards are for both members and non-members, groups of people, organisations and cover the scope of both industry and academia fulfilling the Institutes aims and purpose as per its Royal Charter.

As 2010 is a special year for The Textile Institute celebrating its centenary and being 100 years young the Medals and Awards Committee is delighted to inform its members and industry alike that there will be a number of special awards to be presented throughout the year which will include a Medals and Awards Ceremony at the World Conference and Centenary Dinner 3 November 2010.
