Notes that may prove helpful: the studio manager position requires a strong person and is a management /organisational job. They manage the weaving, finishing and shipping for the designers. The jacquard power looms for the sampling are in the mill, these have dedicated weavers. This role is not design but is viewed by Botany as a role that can lead to design in the studio.

The carpets are designed in the studio and manufactured in Donegal. The design teams and studio manager are together in the studio which is attached to the mill.
