Make It British Live goes online in 2020, connecting buyers and designers with UK manufacturers of fashion, textiles and homeware.

In addition to a full programme of panel discussions and workshops exploring the future of UK manufacturing, join exhibitors from across the UK to chat at their virtual expo booths or try some speed networking.

Future Fashion Factory will be hosting its own panel, ‘Reducing waste through design and manufacturing’, at 10.30am on Friday 25 September. Chaired by Dr Mark Sumner (University of Leeds), our panel of industry partners will include:

• James Appleyard, Deluxe Beds
• Lucy Blackley, Bombyx PLM
• Rita Britton, Nomad Atelier
• Alan Thornber, Laxtons

Connect with the Future Fashion Factory team at our booth in the virtual expo, where members of the team will be available throughout the event.
