Workwear fabrics manufacturer Carrington Textiles has announced the appointment of a new sales manager, reinforcing the company’s focus on growth across its global markets.

With over 13 years of experience in the textile industry, Kim Proctor brings expertise in project management, interior design and full turnkey fit-out projects to her new role, alongside a strong focus on specialist textiles.

Her career includes working with flame-retardant bedlinen and filled products for the healthcare sector as well as high-performance ripstop fabrics for the prison service, giving her deep insight into the technical requirements of diverse industries.

At Carrington Textiles, she will focus on managing a portfolio of key accounts and driving strategic growth across flame-retardant, printed and workwear fabrics. A particular emphasis will be placed on expanding the company’s presence in the defence and military markets through the development and supply of camouflage printed fabrics.

“With my background and passion for specialist fabrics, I knew this role would be the perfect fit,” she said. “During my time at Vision Linens, I worked with a wide range of clients, and I believe that experience will be a real asset in this new posirion. Carrington’s global reputation and the expertise of the team here are inspiring.”

“Kim’s background in specialist textiles, combined with proven experience working with clients such as the UK MoD, makes her a strong addition to our team,” said sales director Paul Farrell. “Her insight and drive will help us strengthen relationships with customers and develop new opportunities, particularly in the defence market.”
