The Company

Waterlinks Investments Ltd is a privately owned group of companies focusing on the strategic support, manufacture, distribution and sales, both wholesale and retail, of brands within the textile industry, and has a turnover of £15 million. The current portfolio of companies includes: Dartex Coatings, transfer coating and lamination solutions to customers worldwide. Tulchan, quality knitwear, fleece and leisurewear for women, featuring beautifully hand-crafted embroidery and applique detailing. Q2Q, efficient and user-friendly IT solutions for businesses, large and small.

We often acquire underperforming or non-core businesses from larger groups and provide hands-on management until such time as they become profitable and cash generative. Once profitable, each business enjoys a high degree of autonomy with head office involvement limited to agreement of strategic goals, annual budget setting and cash management discussions. Businesses are self sufficient for accounting and administration but share some central functions such as banking, insurance and treasury support. Local management participate in a performance related incentive scheme.

The subsidiary companies share the following characteristics:-

  • Strong brand images with intellectual property that we protect
  • Focus on design and development functions
  • Quality and technically superior products
  • Operation in niche markets
The owner of Waterlinks Investments, Sue Watson, also owns Lyle & Scott Limited and Waterlinks Far East.

Case Studies

Name: Orlando
Role: Marketing Manager

The Waterlinks’ graduate programme helped me progress personally and professional, taking me directly to Marketing Manager at Tulchan only one year after graduating. The scheme breaks down the barriers of business, often leaving you with huge amounts of responsibility and a weight of expectation. I have come through with an understanding of how real businesses function, the power play between departments and how to make businesses grow profitably.
