Textiles company Ava Innes is seeking its first round of investment to support growth across the UK and into the US market.
The Elgin-headquartered business was founded by Joan Johnston, the ex-creative director for Johnstons of Elgin, who spent more than 20 years’ working in the industry, supplying brands such as Burberry and Ralph Lauren.
She is now seeking £150,000 to increase production and boost the sales function for its temperature-regulating cashmere guard hair and wool duvets and Scottish wool pillows, which claim to help people to sleep better by adjusting to their body temperature at night.
