UK Fashion & Textile Association (UKFT) will be conducting a webinar on ‘Reshoring fashion production to the UK’ on April 6 at 10.30 am. UKFT’s manufacturing consultant Elliot Barlow will be joining the webinar to speak about reshoring, CMT vs fully factored production, UK manufacturing capabilities and services, internal organisation, cost implications, lead times and import and export.

The changing industry landscape within supply chain networks is prompting thoughts for many brands to reshore production to the UK. The webinar will discuss the implications with this, the considerations for business models and where lie the benefits and drawbacks, UKFT said on its website.

Barlow has worked in a variety of different production environments and his expertise has been forged from hands-on experience managing high-end clothing factories in London, his own consultancy business producing for multiple brands and designers in the UK and more recently in senior management roles in-house and as a consultant for the UKFT. Barlow has been involved in producing clothing at all levels of quality, volume and design-philosophy and understands the necessary steps required to work effectively with manufacturers.

There will also be an opportunity to ask questions at the end.
