College and Uni Students Take the Factory Uncovered Seminar and Tour

This week, commencing 14th October 2024, FEL Director Caroline Ash welcomed groups of students for a series of Factory Uncovered seminars and tours at Fashion-Enter Ltd’s HQ in London.

Caroline said: “The week began with 3 cohorts from Westminster University, they have been visiting us for many years and are always delightful. Good knowledge and understanding and really interesting questions.

Then came business students from Xaverian College, who is a new client, they found the whole process of garment production really interesting and loved the AI demonstration.  

“Lastly this week we had another new business studies client, Aquinas College, they thoroughly enjoyed the seminar and were very interested in the sustainable information given. They were so impressed that they are already planning next year’s visit!”
