Six groups of students from Nottingham Trent University gained fashion manufacturing insight with a seminar and factory tour at Fashion-Enter’s HQ in London.
Taking place over 2-days from the 9th December the groups were shown each stage of the garment production process and gained valuable insight into what makes a factory ethical and ‘Leading’ in the Fast Forward audit.
