On 22nd January 2026, Fashion-Enter Ltd (FEL) welcomed a group of Buying Students from London’s Fashion Retail Academy for an informative seminar and tour of its ethical, award-winning factory. Led by Caroline Ash the students gained valuable insight into garment production, supply chain technology, and core industry topics relevant to their current project.
Caroline said: “Today, I had the pleasure of hosting the lovely Sarah from the Fashion Retail Academy alongside her Level 4 Buying students—regular visitors to Fashion-Enter. They were a fantastic group, each working on projects to submit, so we tailored the seminar to suit their needs. The students thoroughly enjoyed the seminar and tour.”
Feedback from the students was excellent and included:
“I learnt a lot about the manufacturing process and how AI has impacted the production process. Very much enjoyed, taken lots of notes, it was perfect for my project.”
“I learnt lots of terminology and key info on things to know along with issues and solutions. Learned a lot! Not enough space to list it all!! It was a very informative and enjoyable experience. Lovely production manager.”
