Fashion-Enter Ltd (FEL) HQ was busy this past week (18th November 2024) with groups of students visiting from the Fashion Retail Academy. FEL Director Caroline Ash gave each group a seminar and factory tour providing information and insight relevant to their course.
Caroline said: “Firstly, we welcomed the lovely Sarah Hansford along with her Fast Track Buying and Merchandising group, who visit us annually. The students were highly motivated, taking numerous notes and pictures for their project.
“We also welcomed two new groups at Level 4 specialising in Fashion Retail with Marketing. The tutor informed us about a new project on the horizon, so we focused on that topic in addition to our regular subjects. We accomplished a great deal and received positive feedback from the students.”
Feedback included:
