UK Innovate – Circular Fashion Programme
Fashion-Enter Ltd would like to say a big thank-you to the amazing consortium that partnered with us in the UK Innovate – Recycling and Sorting demonstrator bid. What we achieved in a short space of time is quite incredible – such an innovative team has been created. This was the initial activity of a £15million UKRI Circular fashion programme. As this is the first time we have led on UKRI Programme, there has been a lot to learn and although not successful this time – the feedback that UKI have agreed to provide will make us stronger for the second round. Exciting times ahead.
Dunelm – Apprenticeships
FCFTA Leicester is delighted to be embarking on delivering apprenticeship programmes with Dunelm. Dunelm are based in Syston, Leicestershire and have a factory close by. FCFTA will be providing Level 2 Sewing Machine apprenticeships at their factory for February 2023. This will coincide with National Apprenticeship Week that runs from 9th – 13th of February 2023. Jackie said: “It’s great to start working with some local Leicester retailers and manufacturers. Apprenticeships are a great way to provide growth to staff and provide opportunites to new people. FTA Leicester are also working with Next to deliver Level 4 Product Technology apprenticeships.”
