Heading to Downing Street on behalf of @UKFTorg to an event celebrating the UK's Creative Industries. The fashion and textiles sector contributes nearly £29 billion to the UK economy @number10gov
@UKFTorg is passionate about revitalising British manufacturing so I’m thrilled that UKFT President, HRH The Princess Royal, has agreed to open the new @grenfell factory here in East London. #LetsMakeItHere
I've just arrived in #Belfast to speak at the Invest Northern Ireland forum on the UK #textile industry and how @UKFTorg is helping businesses of all sizes. @InvestNI#NorthernIreland
I have the great pleasure of being a guest of the Worshipful Company of Weavers for their Textile Awards today. With skills and training being a huge part of @UKFTorg activity I'm delighted to see recognition going to exceptional recipients within weaving and textiles.
I'm heading to Buckingham Palace on behalf of UKFT for an event hosted by The Duchess of Cambridge and the Countess of Wessex celebrating a new scheme to encourage cross-country partnerships. @RoyalFamily
@MakeItBritish@bbc5live Thanks for the info, I’m delighted that this now completes all the component gaps. Turns out we can indeed make an entirely UK made garment, zips and all!
