Congratulations on the Launch of the ATMF
Fashion-Enter attended the launch of the Apparel and Textile Manufacturers Federation on Monday 18th July at the House of Commons.
The aim of the Federation is to weed out any bad practices, in collaboration with various audit bodies, and move forward together.
Jackie, manager FCFTA Leicester said: “This new federation is very much in alignment with the work we have been doing over the last 6 months in Leicester, supporting on skills, compliance and positive business relationships. Therefore we are looking forward to collaborating with the ATMF – it will be great to have a supplier voice.”
