We were delighted to showcase our manufacturing expertise with British breed wool at the three-day Source Fashion event at Kensington, Olympia in February. Our CEO, Colin Spencer Halsey was joined by Tim Clark, Technical & Sustainability Director of John Smedley Limited for a speaker slot, delivering a presentation about our collaborative journey from farm to fashion for the limited edition, Duchy Wool Collection, with some knitwear samples on display at our exhibition stand throughout the show.
There was much interest from visiting fashion house buyers, designers and business owners wishing to source British-made goods and services, and with our Made in Britain signage and membership visible, it provided an excellent opportunity to raise our profile on a national and global scale.
Colin said: “Exhibiting and sharing a speaker slot with a prestigious British brand as John Smedley was a highlight in our development as a business. We attracted a lot of interest by promoting “Made in Britain”, 100% British Wool, maintaining heritage manufacturing and the collaborative nature of our service”.
