- What are your aspirations and plans for the future?: Continue to build a sustainable independent business of design innovators and skilled workers, current team size, total of 30; build on our sustainable credentials, through partnering with other sustainable auditors and governing bodies, similarly to the way that Fashion Enter has approached this, but our specialism will be in Lingerie and Swimwear, not Fashion; double the size of our manufacturing capabilities in London over the next 6 months and look at a second production unit in Wales.
- What types of projects are you interested in working on through Future Fashion Factory?: Industry/University (Leeds/Huddersfield) partnerships - We would like to form textiles sustainability and innovation research partnerships with the universities. These industry partnerships would help strengthen our ever-growing sustainable textiles library at LCE and ultimately encourage new product innovation to be built into our live brand partnerships, specific to the Lingerie, Swimwear and Activewear industry. The Industry 4.0 Top Team Workshop, could potentially be useful to build and execute the manufacturing growth plan. We would like to engage with senior advisory to execute this growth plan with the latest technology partners, and work holistically with industry, in the most efficient way. The Industry 4.0 Training and Consultancy package, whether this could help with access to funding that could support with R&D relief, innovation or British manufacturing.
