The Halifax company features in the latest edition of the publication, which is regarded as a blueprint for excellence.

BIU Group collects and recycles unwanted clothes, shoes and textiles, then sells the items on to raise money for its charity partners, which include the Yorkshire Air Ambulance, Francis House Children’s Hospice in Didsbury and the Ark Cancer Treatment Centre in Hampshire. The review outlines how BIU has bucked the trend of textile firms struggling in today’s often volatile textile recycling market, citing the company’s motto of ‘excellence always’ as a key factor in its enduring success.
