It’s been yet another busy week (commencing 4th March 2024), with our Factory Uncovered seminar and tours. Host Caroline Ash specifically adapted each tour to suit the needs and level of each visiting group. This week she went from A-Level to University students studying fashion related topics as well as business.
The week started with two groups from London College of Fashion who really enjoyed the whole experience. This was followed by a returning visit from London Metropolitan University who are always enthusiastic and attentive.
Next was an International Business group who have visited us many times and always bring lovely individuals to teach. This was swiftly followed by two groups of Edexcel A-Level students from Salesian School. The week finished off with the lovely Helen and her students from Regents University who have been coming us for years. We had amazing feedback from them and it has been a really good week!
