UK commission textile dyer, printer and finisher, Pincroft, has appointed Catherine Roebuck as its new business development manager. The move is intended to reinforce the company’s commitment to growth across the defence sector and broader textile markets.

Ms Roebuck has over two decades of experience in textile manufacturing and sales and brings a strong track record in business development across coated fabrics, upholstery, drapes, and specialist technical finishes, stated the company. Her career spans both UK and international markets, with previous roles covering the full sales cycle, from product development to delivery for customers in the retail, contract, and leisure sectors.

She also brings deep expertise in processes including cloth preparation, dyeing, printing and flame-retardant coating to the business. This complements her knowledge of working closely with major brands on product specification, range launches, and competitor analysis.

Ms Roebuck commented: “I have a passion for textile manufacturing, and with over 23 years in sales and business development across a wide variety of products and markets. I’m looking forward to applying that knowledge to support Pincroft’s continued growth. The company’s world-class reputation in camouflage printing and technical finishes is a fantastic foundation to build on.”

In the role, Ms Roebuck will focus on supporting the company’s military and defence portfolio, capitalising on the increased capacity of the newly installed Zimmer rotary print machine, while also expanding Pincroft’s wider commission finishing services.

Sales director of Pincroft, Paul Farrell, said: “Catherine’s appointment comes at a pivotal time for the business. With increased production capabilities and demand across core sectors, her commercial insight and industry experience will be key in helping us deepen customer relationships and unlock new market opportunities.”
