Global manufacturer of military fabrics Carrington Textiles has announced the appointment of its new Head of Defence and Security, Graham Dobson. Carrington’s military fabrics are worn by armed forces across the UK, Europe, the Middle East and Australasia.

Dobson’s focus will be the development of products and opportunities within the defence sector globally, with a focus on new markets and tender management.
