127th Annual SLTC Conference and Dinner

Members of the Society enjoyed an uplifting 2-days in Glasgow on 25th and 26th April, starting with a field trip to Scottish Leather Group. 30 delegates had the opportunity to learn about SLG’s heritage and world leading production at the Bridge of Weir facility. Thank you to everyone at SLG who looked after us so well.

Our 127th Conference was attended by 78 delegates and the Keynote Address was delivered by Kerry Senior, Director of Leather UK and Secretary of the International Council of Tanners. Abstracts and details of other speakers will be published in the next edition of the Journal.
