- Kate will be answering these questions in her talk on Sunday 12th February at Olympia in London, and showing you the statistics that illustrate how much the demand for making in the UK has increased over the last decade.
- She’ll also be explaining what the advantages are of working with a local supply chain are, and how and why many brands are now setting up their own micro factories in Britain.
- If you think making in the UK is more expensive, think again. She’ll be showing you how many brands, both large and small, are making in the UK both successfully and profitably.
