COMPANY PROFILE
BTTG and our History Shirley Technologies Ltd is a wholly owned subsidiary of BTTG Ltd, part of the British Textile Technology Group. This was itself formed during the late 1980’s from two globally renowned textile institutions; the Wool Industries Research Association (WIRA) established in 1918 and The Shirley Institute; the latter set up to support the cotton industry in 1919. 2003 Restructuring BTTG was restructured in 2003, in order to improve the focus of its numerous and diverse business units. BTTG Ltd was formed as a holding company in April 2003 and following this, a number of wholly owned subsidiaries were created including Shirley Technologies Ltd which itself focuses on the services required by the more traditional sectors of the textile industry.
