This week, commencing 5th February, the Fashion-Enter Ltd team welcomed two groups of Chinese High School students followed by Buying and Range Planning students from the Fashion Retail Academy.
All groups got to see the factory, the United Repair Centre, the micro factory and the Styleverse Innovation Centre in action, and understand how fashion production is adapting to new ways of working.
Caroline Ash led the seminar and tour sessions she said: “We had 2 groups of Chinese High School students in this week, they had varying degrees of English, and my Chinese is zero, so it was interesting! However, somehow, we managed to deliver the seminars which they really enjoyed. The tutors are already talking about a return visit later in the year. Time enough for me to brush up on my Chinese!!
“We then we had the Fashion Retail Academy return for two visits. They were Buying and Range planning groups and we had a great visit.”
