Custodial history:
The British Textile Employers Association (BTEA) was formed 1 April 1969 by an amalgamation of the British Doublers and Spinners Association, the UK Textile Manufacturers Association and the Textile Finishing Trades Association. They in themselves were formed from predecessor bodies covering (in theory) the UK, including Northern Ireland. The majority of members confined their activities to within a 30 mile radius of Manchester. While the forerunners of the BTEA were formed to corner the market in raw cotton and fight Trade Union strength, the BTEA was formed so that the industry, which up to 1969 liaised in an informal and disparate manner, could formulate policy on commercial and industrial questions and to speak and act with one voice.
Membership was either in person or corporate bodies carrying on business in the spinning, doubling, weaving, knitting and other stages of the processing of cotton, man made and allied fibres. The growing of cotton or production of man made materials was not represented. There was provision for associate membership by organisations but not individual members in allied fields. There were three such associate members, The Bleachers and Finishers Association Incorporated, Belfast, The Dyers and Finishers Association, Bradford and the Macclesfield Textile Manufacturers Association.
