Richard's introduction to the textile industry began at a traditional Yorkshire mill where he worked for 10 years before joining Bateman Ogden in 2002.
With his experience gained at the mill, combined with his IT and marketing skills, Richard has played a major role in the on-going development of the business over the past decade.
Richard recognised that although the company already had a solid reputation with UK tailors, there were opportunities to introduce Bateman Ogden to new territories across the world. Richard therefore took responsibility for the company's growing export division and Bateman Ogden now supplies fine cloth to every continent.
In 2012, Richard became a director at Bateman Ogden and is now responsible for day-to-day business operations and developing the future of the company.
